Matt Miller, aka Positron, the lead designer of City of Heroes and City of Villains takes some time to discuss the planning that went into the upcoming free expansion, Issue 10: “Invasion.” Issue 10 advances the story of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles by throwing a combined threat at the heroes and villains – a second invasion by the dreaded Rikti.
From the Dev Diary:
“With Issue 10 we decided to advance the storyline. Like any ongoing game we have many unresolved plot threads and each is a great opportunity for introducing new game content. Our first thought for Issue 10 was to bring back the 5th Column, a villain group that disappeared when the Council was introduced in Issue 3. But in the end we decided to focus on one of the greatest threats to Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, the aliens known as the Rikti.”
