Yes, really. Superhero and science-fiction fans can now celebrate together. Heroic Games have announced development of a new MMO - Ship of Heroes, promising to combine the best features of Space and Hero games in a spiritual successor to City of Heroes.
Next Beta
The latest bit of exciting news is that Heroic Games are planning the next beta for Q1 in 2020. That will be a combat beta in which players will be able to create a character (or maybe more than one), level it up and go out to fight some invaders. That's about all the information we have on this at present but... watch this space :)
