I hate to sound negative but yeah it seems like work on this is never progressing at a good rate. I don't expect this to ever be fully released at this point.
User Hyperbolt here. Been following this game's development since 2015. While it is obviously frustrating to have to wait so long for this game I know you guys are working hard behind the scenes. I have traveled across the city you have available on the launcher rn and it gets me excited to see this city fully come to life when it is ready. Hope you guys make a lot of progress in 2025.
Wrote this off years ago. But having seen the state of the games industry currently and in my opinion, a sad lack of a real successor to City of Heroes.... I see something here.
Just in case you didn’t know but you can still play city of heroes! There’s an officially liscensed community-ran server called homecoming (there are others but this one seems to be the most possible/stable with what little research I did)
Seeing the ranged characters move back to stay at range was interesting, but I could see that getting frustrating for melee-focused characters. Will there be some abilities that'll help with that?
Glad yall are still working on the game, though the rate of progress seems pretty rough. But that's how volunteer projects go I guess. Hope 2025 leads to good things!
Ooh I remember back when this looked like a City of Heroes clone but man, seeing these slick animations has me hopeful for a true superhero action mmo! Or at least something that *feels* more actiony - DCUO was decent but man did it feel unresponsive
@@Mtk28110 Well, quicker then previous years, most of the parts are built now, we just need to assemble them.. I know it's been a long wait, but hang in there. Game is coming, and it'll be insanely good.
I rather devs take time to deliver a great game than deliver a game that couldve been great but was rushed. The same people complaining about how long its taking will be the same ones buying it when it releases. Delivering a proper game has never failed.
actually they won't be buying it, history has showed that games in development hell typically don't do too well. using this logic, duke nukem forever should've sold gangbusters. also it's a PC game so that brings up the chances of privacy. also, nobody's "buying" a superhero MMO, the most popular superhero MMOs are freemium, always have been
Looks awesome! Out of all the CoH homeage/successor games that I've seen THIS is the one I've always been the most eager and excited for its good to see that the devs are still passionate about getting it out so we can play it some day hopefully sooner rather than later but I know games on this scale take quite a bit of time so its all good.
I was five years old when the kickstarter for this game was created. Now that I am 87, I don't think I'll be around for launch but I'll be sure to eat more carrots to see if I can make it.
After all this time, I never regretting my $50 donation. I think it looks good and I love the minimalist design with interface and menus. I love the realistic style graphics and city designs. I have even had the chance to run around the current city and loved it. Except the Suburbs, those need some more work to look realistic layout wise and be much larger in area, but I love the suburbs. My concerns is it will never see a full release. I just hope the volunteers are truly committed to the project and you're not having people come and go through the project using this game as a resume filler stepping stone to get into the game development industry while the game remains in a perpetual development limbo. If you ever need more help, I have a lot of free time and a computer that can handle these kinds of projects. I just want to see this project finally lift off soon to the public. There is so much potential.
For nearing 12 years of production this is such a let down. No real game status, no overview of whats left, no information at all that gives any level of confidence that this game will ever actual get to any sort of official launch. No road map, no update to the 5+ year old previous road map. Just some less awful looking running and movement animations. Cool. Still no devs for the actual critical areas? Vote of confidence is a huge Nay. But string us along for another decade with "its coming together! " and "nows a good time to start following us! "
The world still feels empty though, I see large spaces that could be filled with fountains and fast-food stands, taxis, citizens, bus stops and stations. I hope you do have a good open world designer for this. Someone who can make the world breath and move.
Well, our main city designer just died... but if you actually get the current version you'll see fountains, bus stops, food stands, and stations. We've not put much population in the world yet to avoid interference during the testing, but there are some NPCs that are available already in places to play with combat. We have previous videos by ourselves and our fan base with walkthroughs of the world. The world is presently 32.258km by 32.258km and less than a quarter of it has been filled in (I'm one of the map people).
NCSoft were the ones who nuked CoH, not Missing Worlds Media. City of Titans is an independent effort that has nothing to do with NCSoft (deliberately so, I hear). If you're looking for a CoH fix, I would recommend CoH: Homecoming, a non-profit private server that has worked out a licensing agreement with NCSoft to continue to run without fear of litigation forcing it to shut down. They've even done some updates that flesh out the story a bit more.
alright, see you in 2034 for the next update/roundup :D

Looking much better. Finally. cant wait
I'm so excited to play this some day, Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work guys. Happy new year
Excited to see this is moving along. Glad to see mwm still is dedicated to bring this to life.
Keep up the good work. Glad to see more info about this.

@Dedramir Oh I know, but it's pastiche.
i believe!

Love the updates!

So do we!
I recognize couple marketplace assets and to be honest I am glad. They are good assets and will save a lot of time.
They do!
Still truckin', huh?
I was literally looking at this channel in my subscriptions this morning wondering..
"Is it time to delete?"
Ooh I remember back when this looked like a City of Heroes clone but man, seeing these slick animations has me hopeful for a true superhero action mmo! Or at least something that *feels* more actiony - DCUO was decent but man did it feel unresponsive
Things are starting to come together pretty quick.. :)
pretty quick ?

gta for pc or city of titans? xpp
Yes, I am!
Good to see some news. I'm a huge fan of City of Heroes and I'm really rooting for this game to be successful!
o.o
Yep Still waiting. Just like I am still waiting for Beyond Good and Evil 2.
Looking good! I hope I don't need a new PC to run it.
I've tested it on some fairly low-end systems and video cards. Working well so far.

At what point are you seeing potential? This game is still full placeholder after 10 years of development lol

This game will never see the light of day lol
Here's an EARLY LOOK at something 10 years past due

But darling, we've got Marvel Star Citizen at home...
More than 10 years later, you are only starting to implement quests / missions and basic AI enemy features ... god
Hm the thing is that, after working so longtime on it, AI will soon make everything better in 3months dev for a fully playable game
OMG YOU GUYS ARE STILL ALIVE!!! What year is it????? still pissed you nuked city heroes with no backup in place
... they didn't? Like, that was all NCSoft.
They had nothing to do with NCSoft closing down COH though?

That's not how any of those things work.
