Scene. A dirty prison yard, littered with discarded newspapers. The lighting is horrible, police sirens blare in your ears. It’s a breakout, and according to local thug H.T., the one being broken out is you.

Welcome to City of Villains. From the moment you load your character you’re hip deep in action, doing dirty work for shady contacts in order to further your career and gain infamy among the populace. The tutorial zone, ‘Breakout,’ tells the story of your escape from prison; from then on you make your own path, choosing which NPC contacts to do missions for, what zones to frequent, and which jobs you take.
