DC Universe Online is still going strong … The loyal fanbase keeps the action MMORPG alive in 2018 and looks forward to regular content updates, such as the upcoming death of Superman.
According to Steamcharts, about 300 players are playing the MMORPG on Steam at the same time. However, this does not include players from the console versions (PS3, PS4, Xbox One).
Daybreak Games does not provide official numbers. However, it seems that the operation is still worthwhile, as content updates are released regularly. When DC Universe Online finally arrived on Xbox One in May 2016, after the developer parted ways with Sony, there was a significant influx.
Superman dies!
Thus, an update has been announced for the 80th anniversary of Superman, which will kill the superhero. It is supposed to recount the story of Doomsday and the death of Superman.
This is based on a comic series from the 90s, in which the last son of Krypton was indeed killed by the entity Doomsday. However, the hero returned later, leading to a series of confusions, as there were suddenly several versions of the hero and only one was the real one.
The Atlanteans are back
Daybreak Games wants to tell this story in DC Universe Online starting in April. In addition, the Deluge update is already planned for March, which introduces the Atlanteans into the game world, whose most well-known representative is Aquaman. Deluge brings the following:
- Deluge is a large episode full of adventures
- The episode will cover the return of the Atlanteans, including heroes and villains like Aquaman, Mera, Black Manta, Corum Rath, and others
- The story consists of a series of single-player and multiplayer adventures set in Central City and the new Spindrift Station, an Atlantean outpost in the ocean
- There are new rewards such as gear, items, and feats
- Deluge will permanently introduce the rewards of the Starro The Conqueror event into the game
DC Universe Online is therefore still active and continues to receive content updates, thanks to the loyal community.
