In the superhero and supervillain MMO DC Universe Online (PC, PS3, PS4), the second part of the Halls of Power revolves around the New Gods.
The DC universe is vast: it has developed over decades. Many authors have added their own ideas and characters to the existing ones, some certainly influenced by the zeitgeist and what was financially successful for competitor Marvel at the time.
The associated MMO DC Universe Online strives to do justice to the dimensions of this narrative mosaic. Every 3 months, players jump into a different theme. For instance, in the latest DLC Amazon Fury II, the focus was on the mythologically influenced underworld, as Wonder Woman was in the spotlight. Before that, players could experience cosmic powers in a Green Lantern-themed content pack War of the Light II. In the next DLC “Halls of Power II,” it will be about the “New Gods,” a group of super beings that were first published in the 70s. The first part of this story was told in the summer of 2014.
Super-villain Darkseid is somewhat of a counterpart to Marvel’s Thanatos, although making such a statement might get one stoned. In any case, it is necessary to stop Darkseid. A whole series of new characters will be introduced.
The DLC contains, as is customary for DC Universe Online, a range of new activities for solo players, duos, four-player teams, or even 8-man groups (operations and raids). After the DLC, the plan is to switch from the current quarterly rhythm to a monthly one, releasing three smaller DLCs per quarter instead of one “big” DLC. Additionally, there are already eyes on the major movie releases of the coming years and plans for collaborations here.
