After having just celebrated its 7th anniversary, City of Heroes now offers characters the ability to travel the lands of Praetoria, Paragon City and the Rogue Isles with a fashionable Victorian touch. Whether strutting your stuff in new leather thigh high boots and a matching bustier or showcasing your finely waxed mustache before fighting your arch nemesis with your patented pistols, the newest City of Heroes accessory pack has everything you need to become a part of the Victoriana-noir style that is steampunk.

A complete list of features includes:

  • Steampunk Pack Costume Parts: The Steampunk Pack unlocks more than 60 new costume parts for all characters including heads, hairstyles, chests, belts, legs, boots, weapons, wings and for the first time ever, backpacks.
  • Steam Jump Travel Power: Harness the furious power and speed of steam to rocket through the air with the new Steam Jump travel power available at level 4.
  • New Auras: The Steampunk Pack offers two new tintable auras, including the Victorian Décor and the Clunker Aura, the first-ever path aura that allows characters to leave a customized, visible trail of oil and gears wherever they walk.
  • Emotes: Activate new character and Steampunk-themed costume change emotes including Inspiration, Train Whistle, Hot Temper, Oil Strike and Pressure Release.

The Steampunk Pack will be available June 1 for $9.99. For more information on City of Heroes and the Steampunk Pack, please visit the City of Heroes website at www.cityofheroes.com.
