Heads up, Heroes and Villains! You've tangled with the Rikti single-handedlylong enough in Issue 10: Invasion - now, prepare to use both hands formaximum alien-slaying pleasure in Issue 11: Dual Blades for both City of Heroes and City of Villains. The time for dual-wielding has come at last!

A full-blown expansion just like Issue 10, Issue 11: Dual Blades not only promises more content and more storylinesfor players, but also two new power packs for the Melee Archetypes. Thefirst is Willpower, a defense power pack, and the other, Dual Blades,is geared to ramp up your offensive capabilities.

So what doesDual Blades do? Why, it gives the Brute, Scrapper, Stalker and Tankerarchetypes the ability to wield paired weapons, of course! Not onlydoes it look cool, but it's pretty much going to make those archetypesan absolute menace in the playing field.

Certainly an awesome update for NCsoft's legendary MMORPGs that pits Villains against Heroes. Enjoy the screenshots!
