The third DLC pack is on the way.
Via a press release, Sony Online Entertainment has revealed that the third DLC pack for DC Universe Online is on the way. Entitled The Battle for Earth, the DLC includes new raids, new open world content, and a new power set. The pack will have players fighting on Wonder Woman's home island, South Gotham and a battle with Brainiac.
DC Universe players are getting Flashed (ugh) later this year.
The second pack of downloadable content has been announced for DC Universe Online. Titled Lightning Strikes, the DLC includes electricity powers, making it the 8th power set, and a new adventure starring The Flash. Legendary players will get this content for free while other players can purchase the DLC for $9.99.
The free-to-play model seems to be working for SOE.
We reported yesterday that Everquest II is going free-to-play, and the announcement mentioned how well DC Universe Online has done since making the switch. It turns out they were underselling the numbers.
The transition from subscription to pay as you go gets a date.
It’s a good time to be a comic book fan. DC has been riding high on the huge success of the reboot of their entire universe with the New 52, and Batman: Arkham City is tearing up the sales charts. Now you can add one more reason for DC fans to rejoice, as DC Universe Online is going free to play, and we finally have a date for when that transition will happen.
