The developers of City of Heroes have changed their name from NCsoft NorCal to Paragon Studios. The developer seems to have been named after Paragon City, the fictional setting of City of Heroes. Brian Clayton, Paragon Studios' General Manager said that "The renaming of our studio to Paragon Studios represents our devotion to the present and future of the City of Heroes series".

The studio now employs over 50 staff, up from just 20 when it was formed in 2007.
