NCsoft Europe invites players to sign up for the City of Villains Beta as the final touches are made to Cryptic Studios' greatly anticipated lawbreaking title. Set to arrive at the end of October, City of Villains is the stand-alone sequel to the award-winning City of Heroes.

"We're looking for megalomaniacs, masterminds and even genuine gamers to help us push the servers to capacity in this final run-up to launch," said Stephen Reid, Content and Community Manager, NCsoft Europe. "Plus, it's an excellent opportunity to see City of Villains early, and get in on the hero vs. villain action."

City of Villains will provide players with a chance to play the "bad guy" in the comic-book inspired world created by Cryptic Studios. Take on the role of super-powered villains and create your own character using thousands of powers and costume options. Battle heroes and become a true menace to society while plotting your way to world domination.
