Just in time for the holidays, winter has arrived in Paragon City™, the Rogue Isles™ and even Praetoria.
Every City of Heroes® character that logs in during the Winter Event unlocks:
During the Winter Event, that mischievous elf Gamester leaves mysterious glowing presents that appear throughout Paragon City, the Rogue Isles, and Praetoria.

Save Baby New Year
Snaptooth has kidnapped Baby New Year to keep Father Time from passing on the chronological mantle. If he keeps Baby New Year locked away forever, guarded by the Red Caps and their allies among the Tuatha, winter will never give way to spring.
