We've known about the upcoming shift to free-to-play for City of Heroes for a while now, but what other changes are in store for the superhero MMO? Good question.

NCSoft sent me the teaser image above earlier today as a preparation for showing off City of Heroes Freedom at San Diego Comic-Con. Though the publisher didn't provide any further concrete details as to what we can expect, the image suggests that the free-to-play version of CoH will have a new focus on comic-book style storylines, beginning with the death of one of the game's major heroes.

I'll be checking out City of Heroes Freedom at Comic-Con later this week, so check back for more updates!
