Overview

Issue 15, unknown title, will be a major revision to City of Heroes and City of Villains. Positron has said in past interviews that Issue 15 will be more story-driven.

This article summarizes some of the major features in Issue 15. For more complete details, see the release date's patch notes.

Interviews

The 8/25/2008 Massively interview with Positron and Brian Clayton included the following:

Matt Miller: The real big storyline stuff is coming in Issue 15!
Massively: Any hints at all about what that would be touching on?
Matt Miller: It's hopefully going to tie up a lot of loose ends that we've had hanging out there for a while now, while at the same time creating a lot more.
Brian Clayton: Like any good superhero story.
Matt Miller: Like any good superhero story, or episode of LOST.


The 12/1/2008 IGN interview from Issue 13's release included a small teaser from Positron:

Issue 15 will be centered around the Fifth... Anniversary of City of Heroes.

This was followed by a note from IGN stating the date of the anniversary. This caused speculation from the player-base that the issue would be released at that time.

However, GhostRaptor followed up on 3/5/2009, saying:

Issue 15 does not have a release date, or even a release window, yet. Nothing has been officially stated. The rumour floating around that Issue 15 will coincide with the 5th anniversary is nothing more than that: a rumour. Most likely started by a very wild piece of speculation based on a comment made in an interview that had nothing to do with release dates at all.


The 12/3/2008 Gaming Nexus interview with Positron included the following question:

Q. What's next for City of Heroes? Can you give us a hint about what to expect in Issue 14?
A. Issue 14 is all about the Mission Architect. Issue 15 will bring us back into some more story-driven content. That’s all I can say for now about that though!


Possible Content

Though unlikely to be included in Issue 15 due to the late date involved, in-game dialogue and generally accepted timeline information suggests that Hero 1 and Omega Team's time capsule will be opened in November of 2009. If delayed long enough, Issue 15 could see this come to fruition.
