The ninth add-on DLC for the MMORPG super hero title "DC Universe Online" has been announced. It is going to arrive for all gamers on PC, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 sometime next year according to a press statement from Sony.
According to IGN, the DLC's title is "War of the Light: Part I" and it will be the first part of a trilogy that will add new storylines, characters and powers to the MMO. Part I introduces the Blue Lantern Corps, the first of several that "manipulate power from the Emotional Spectrum." Sony has already promised more corps coming in future add-on DLC.
"War of the Light Part I will let players explore new and re-imagined environments in DCUO," Jens Andersen, senior creative director, said. "They will notice changes to Metropolis, which has been affected by this new war of light... These environments play a big part in the storyline and we look forward to expanding each of them as the trilogy unfolds."
In addition to the new content, players and devotees of the DC Comic universe will be pleased to know that the new DLC lets you team up with none other than Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern himself. Or, if you've chosen the villain path, you can team up with his enemy Sinestro. Respectively they will help you progress through Part One of the storylines. For those interested in the PvP aspect of the game, characters Saint Walker and Atrocitus will be included with the update, as well as Rage, a berserker-style power that can be used by bother heroes and villains.
War of the Light: Part I will be a free update to DC Universe Online Legendary members. You can also buy it via the PSN or the DC Universe Online website early next year when it is finally released.
