Posted on Apr 5, 2011 - 12:32pm EST

NCsoft and Paragon Studios have announced today’s launch of the long-awaited free content release for the City of Heroes franchise, Issue 20: Incarnates.

Building on storylines from 2010’s City of Heroes Going Rogue expansion, players will be introduced to the game’s new Incarnate Trials, a series of group encounters featuring innovative game mechanics that will test even the most powerful characters. Taking place in the empire of Praetoria, Heroes and Villains will find themselves challenged with a cosmic threat that could destroy two worlds.

Issue 20 introduces four new tiers of Incarnate Powers, new abilities that modify your character’s powers, or even unlock new ones. 8-24 players can team up to fight against the power-driven Emperor Cole and his powerful Lieutenants.

Issue 20 launches with two Incarnate Trials, with more to come in future updates, which are Behavioral Adjustment Facility and Lambda Sector. For the first time, up to 48 players can now team up in a single group with the new League system. The Looking for Group system has also been upgraded with the Team-Up Teleporter, a new UI feature that allows players to easily queue up for the all-new Incarnate Trials, instantly transporting characters to the event once a full group is formed.

Access to the free Incarnate Trials and Incarnate Powers requires the City of Heroes Going Rogue expansion.
