Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

City of Titans backstory?

Is there a back story to City of Titans? Something like this:

The Titans have fallen. The world's greatest super team and their leader, The Paragon, are gone. Our city was destroyed by the Doomsday Machine of the Nth Column. Now, the granddaughter of The Paragon, Lady Liberty, started Project Phoenix, and sent out a call to all of us heroes, to rebuild and defend our city. Renaming it after the legendary fallen heroes and calling it--Titan City. Because, in our hearts, we are all Titans!

There is most definitely a back story. It is complex, and full of fun bits of information! The history of Titan City includes such things as {Redacted] and [Redacted], not to mention the [Redacted]! You'll find out some of it in the Kickstarter updates, but we will keep some of it to ourselves. What fun is playing through a story if you already know the end?

The ending is that Titan City goes to the Amerikatts as we descend upon the city like Tribbles on Capt. Kirk's head!

*cackles evilly and rubs her forepaws together*

*realizes she's been possessed by Soul Kitten and runs away, shrieking like a banshee!*

Oh please! You're going with [Redacted]? That old chestnut? I think it would be way cooler if you chose something like [Redacted] or perhaps, if you want to really get wild, "[Redacted]"

how much of the "old game" will you be legally allowed to include in the back story of this game, be fore legal issues arise?

Yeah, that sounds like a Jedi. Massacre a whole room full of people, then stand around apologizing for it. - Swtor NPC

Yah, none of it due to legal issues. Which is great! New material to learn and enjoy, surprises to be shocked by and awesome battles to participate in, right? Right!

We cannot include *any* of the story or lore material from CoX. We are being extremely careful that things are staying away from that material because we don't want to invite that legal hammer to swing. We have a whole new world that we have been building, from the ground up. When you see it, you're going to love it!

I always liked the stories

I always liked the stories where the protagonist loses and the antagonist wins. Leaving the protagonist to vanish and one day returning to finally be able to win but only after the antagonist has changed the world.

I was going to go with "At the expected cost of fifteen dollars month, less if you buy in bulk." But that sounds better.

I’m very excited to get a

I’m very excited to get a look at some of the lore! I’m hoping for something that is a little more inclusive to the type of character I want to play than some games have been. Even City of Heroes - which had lore that was easy to fit your character’s history into - had some elements that you’d just have to ignore at times. For example, the existence of a “Surviving Eight” kind of technically precluded a well-known superhero “player” from taking part in the first Rikti War. I hope to see a lore that I can drop my Golden Ager, Victorian Adventurer, lurid True Crime Boss, and shiny Silver Ager into with ease and still work with the history of the game world.
