DC Universe Online’s 7th DLC Origin Crisis has been officially announced, and will “send players battling through time and alternate realities with Batman or Lex Luthor as they attempt to save or alter the origins of important Heroes and Villains.” We have been given a fair chunk of PR information, so I have sifted through it and selected the interesting bits.
The story concept sounds great, Jens Andersen, Creative Director has said:
“In this DLC, players will travel through time to play out alternate histories and futures. What would happen to Metropolis if Superman worked for Lex Luthor? What if Bruce Wayne became an evil assassin instead of a vigilante? These are the stories and realities that the players will experience and influence.”
Origin Crisis, will offer new high-level multiplayer and solo adventures, and send players battling through time and alternate realities with Batman or Lex Luthor as they attempt to save or alter the origins of important Heroes and Villains. Origin Crisis will also introduce DCUO’s newest power set – Quantum! The new DLC will be available in May for download on the PC and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
And here is a feature list covering what to expect with the new update:
- New Quantum Controller Power Set – Manipulate time, control gravity and twist the very fabric of space itself!
- Two challenging new Raids
- Two new Hero Origin Operations
- Two new Villain Origin Operations
- Iconic Anomalies – Two new Solo Simulation Challenges
- New Gear, including Tier 5 PvE Gear and new Iconic-inspired Gear
- New Feats, Collections and Trophies
This MMO clearly has a loyal following and the developers are doing a good job of keeping everyone invested in this game. It is nice to see a MMO that hasn’t gone the way of many other recent games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic
