The Homecoming team will continue to develop new content for City Of Heroes. They’ve previously added a new Archetype (basically a class), called the Sentinel, as well as new powersets and new stories and missions.
Homecoming is just one of many fan-run servers, and as the only one to receive an official license, its leaders are now hoping to consolidate the community under a single home. To that end, they’re “forming a new leadership group” called the City Council which will consist of Homecoming’s current development team and “representatives from the other servers we have been working with.”
They’re also looking to recruit more volunteer developers and Game Masters to help with its operation, and plan on registering as an NPO - a non-profit organisation.
It was an also important game in the pre-history of Rock Paper Shotgun, as one of the few that all four founders played together in the years before the site launched. If you want to read Kieron “comics” Gillen write about the making of City Of Heroes,that’s a thing you can do.
