NCsoft Europe has announced its aggressive pricing structure for City of Villains and City of Heroes. Both games will be playable online with just one subscription fee of £8.99 (ââ€Â¬12.99) per month. This means that existing City of Heroes players will be able to play City of Villains at no extra cost once they have bought the game.

We know that many City of Villains players will be existing City of Heroes players who are essentially playing in order to access another aspect of the universe they have grown to love,” says Thomas Bidaux, Director of Products, NCsoft Europe. “We wanted to find a solution that would look after existing players, offer tremendous value for money and also encourage new players to investigate the world of City of Heroes. This is that solution.”

Both games can be played on their own and will provide satisfying and exciting online adventures,” said Jack Emmert, creative director for Cryptic StudiosTM, “By keeping the cost to £8.99 (ââ€Â¬12.99) for subscribers to both games, we are encouraging players to use all of the functionality we built into the games. We created a heroes game and a villains game and we figured it is a lot more fun to have good guys and bad guys tangle without charging double for the opportunity to do so.”
