Our Take
This is pretty big news, seeing as how it's one of the only mentions of City of Heroes since the game shut down its servers in 2012, and from the original developer no less. While it's not necessarily foreshadowing any kind of resurgence for the fan-favorite MMORPG, it's always good to see that quality characters aren't forgotten, and fans should be happy to see a familiar face again.
