Homecoming: City of Heroes began as a secret server named SCoRE, operating for 6 years before its existence was leaked in April 2019.[1][2][3] The leak ended up splitting the community: some were relieved it was back, while others were angered that they had been lied to.[4][5] Shortly after the leak on April 25, 2019, Homecoming launched its first server.[6] On January 4, 2024, they obtained a Limited License with NCSoft to continue development on the game in an official capacity.[7][8][9]
