As if there weren't enough great reasons to come to Hero-Con '08, now when you attend the event, you will have the option to join future closed betas! Given the timing of Hero Con this may include Issue 13 closed beta, but will also include access to the future closed beta of Issue 14!

If you aren't familiar with Hero-Con, it's our one day City of Heroes extravaganza! Held on October 18th at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara, it is your opportunity to talk directly with the Development Team behind the City of Heroes / City of Villains franchise, meet hundreds of other fans of the game, pick up great prizes and have a great City of Heroes day!
