Roleplaying game publisher Eden Studios has confirmed in a press release that it’s working with Cryptic Studios and NCsoft to create a pencil and paper roleplaying game based on City of Heroes. The game will be based on a version of Eden’s Unisystem rules, adapted for the kind of super-powered action we know and love.

City of Heroes Lead Designer Jack ‘Statesman’ Emmert comes from a traditional roleplaying background, and will be heavily involved in the development of the tabletop version. You can find out more, including details of the initial rule books and supplements planned for the game’s summer release, on Eden’s website.
