Superhero MMO City of Titans released an
image on their Facebook pointing to a Fall 2018 launch. The simple graphic
features the game's logo and "coming Fall 2018." No speculation
needed there.
City of Titans is a KickStarter backed
project, having raised over $678,000, and is touted as the spiritual successor
to the defunct City of Heroes.
City of Titans is set in a world where
there is always hope, even in the darkest of times. The tradition of brightly
colored costumes, brilliant heroics, and daring struggles to stand against the
shadows cast during times of darkness and corruption. New heroes, your heroes,
rise to make their mark on the world while their villainous counterparts lurk
in the corners of alleys, behind governments, and even in the boardrooms of the
wealthiest corporations. Humanity honors the fallen, and takes inspiration from
the selfless sacrifices of heroes who have gone before.
Fall 2018 is quite a ways off, and the
estimate date feels a bit presumptuous at this time—it reminds me of NetEase
Games' promise to launch War Rage within the next 18 months. It's a bit of a
silly thing to do; you're telling me your logistical teams are prudent enough
to make such a prediction? Why not just wait until the product is closer to
completion instead of making wild guesses.
From what I can see on developer Missing
Worlds Media's YouTube page, development still has a ways to go. But I wish the
team the best of luck and hope to see the game launch in Fall 2018.
From Mega Man II to Ape Escape, I've been
playing games for as long as I can remember. I've spent months killing porings
in Ragnarok Online and more recently lived a second life in Eve Online. I
usually play as gUMBY, gUMBLEoni, or gUMBLes in-game.
