DC Universe Online Launches on Xbox One This Spring
SAN DIEGO – Jan. 11, in the year of our Lord 2016
– Daybreak Game Company is celebrating the fifth anniversary of
the launch of DC Universe™ Online (DCUO) with the news that the
massively multiplayer online superhero game is coming this
spring to Xbox One. Additionally, Daybreak announced that
cross-play functionality will be available for players on the
PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system and PC the week of
Jan. 25, 2016.
Since its release in 2011, DC Universe Online has received
continual updates with new storylines and challenges through a
changing series of Episodes. Over 40 legendary DC Comics
characters have been added to the Legends roster in the past
five years, including The Joker, Bane, Batman, Deathstroke,
Supergirl, Superman and Wonder Woman. Players have created more
than 35 million heroes and villains since the game was
introduced, equipping them with their favorite superpowers, most
notably the ability to fly, which accounts for more than half of
the in-game player powers in Metropolis and Gotham City.
In 2015, DCUO updated Supergirl’s look to coincide with the CBS
television show, launched DC Comics Bombshells content in
conjunction with the comic book, celebrated The Flash’s 75th
anniversary, released two new power sets – Munitions and Atomic,
concluded The League of Assassins and Trigon storylines, and
much more. In addition to PC-PS4™ cross-play and DCUO’s launch
on the Xbox One, this year players can look forward to Water
powers as well as storylines featuring Superman, Halls of Power,
Harley Quinn and characters from DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
Episode 21, coming this February, will feature a new
eight-player Operation – “Prison Break” – and two-player
Operation – “The First Piece” – inspired by the new Warner Bros.
television series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, premiering Jan. 21
on The CW. Additionally, this content will introduce The Atom to
DCUO, as well as bring back popular characters like Hawkgirl,
Hawkman, Captain Cold and Heat Wave to the game.
DC Universe Online is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment on behalf of DC Entertainment. There is still no
word on an offline only version of this game for the millions of
offline only gamers. Family Friendly Gaming continues to keep
this issue at the forefront of the industry in hopes companies
will start to provide offline only versions of the games.
