City of Heroes private server Homecoming is now official, ensuring players can continue to enjoy the game for years to come.
Originally released in 2004, City of Heroes was among the first games to popularize the superhero MMO genre. Like most older MMOs, support waned over time but the game was kept alive by dedicated fans hosting their own servers and in some cases creating their own content and patches for the game.
The Homecoming staff shared the news in a forum post back in January.
We’d like to thank you all for your patience over the past few years, and we’re incredibly thrilled to announce that it’s paid off: NCSOFT® has officially granted Homecoming a license to host City of Heroes™.
We’ll have much more to share on this in the coming months, however right now we’d like to make a few things clear:
- Your accounts and characters are safe
- Development of new content will continue
- Homecoming will continue to be completely free
- We will continue to be funded entirely through donations
City of Heroes is available to play for free through on Homecoming servers, find out how to sign up here.
