City of Heroes Freedom Announced for sometime later this year, CoH Influence Freedom will open the world of heroes and villains to everyone by introducing a new free-to-play model. Publishers NCSoft have decided that now is the right time for the hybrid model and even have new content coming along with the change.

The change from subscription based to free-to-play will open the door for more players to join the universe of City of Heroes Freedom. However, for those who are already subscribers, you will automatically be upgraded to VIP status once the update is released. The VIP status entitles you to much more content than will be available to free-to-play players and even has added bonuses, such as a free monthly gift of 400 Paragon Points. These points can be used on the new Paragon Market which also has many bonuses and items available for purchase.

As for the new content to come to CoH Influence Freedom, it is known as Issue 21: Convergence. This update will introduce a whole new set of signature story arcs for VIP players that will let them fight alongside some of the most iconic heroes and villains ever known. Additionally, there will be weekly updates to the in-game store items, high-level Incarnate Trials and more new issues.
