The first major update to the live game will be released in June 2004. The update will consist of new zones, a “trial” quest in the sewers, instanced outdoor missions, additional enhancements to indoor zones, the ability to tweak your costume as well as three new villain groups (the Malta Group, the Carnival of Shadows and the Praetorians). Updates of this size are planned for every 2 months. Cryptic is committed to cranking out new content, so much so that the update team is the same size as the development team.
