City of Macintoshes
Today, October 30th, 2008, NCsoft announced a partnership with TransGaming, Inc. to bring the award-winning City of Heroes franchise to the Apple® Macintosh® computer platform for the company’s western territories. The Mac version will be available for public beta testing with the release of the game’s thirteenth free expansion, Issue 13: Power and Responsibility this fall. The official launch of the Macintosh version is planned to follow shortly thereafter via a special digital-only edition.
You can sign up for the Beta here.
Mac users will get some interesting bennies (which will eventually be available for purchase by other players):
Yes, just like the Good vs. Evil edition of the game, the Macintosh version will include some special in-game items, including:
- Mission Teleporter Power - Players can save time and get right into the action by teleporting directly to their active mission.
- Exclusive Valkyrie Costume set - Costume pieces include two varieties of wings, a cape, a skirt/kilt, pants, boots, shoulders, chest, gloves, belts, and helmet with multiple details.
These items will be available separately for purchase in early 2009 for customers who are not playing on a Mac. We’ll have further details of these exciting options, including screenshots, in the near future.
Wow. I'd pay money for a Mission Teleporter. Especially if it bridges zones.
