Sony has just revealed that the first downloadable content pack for its MMOG DC Universe Online will be out this summer.
Entitled Fight for the Light, the DLC is themed around The Green Lantern (the film of which just came out, of course). It introduces a seventh power set to the game, that of “light”.
Using the light power set, players will be able to create their own Lantern-esque superheroes, and various Green Lantern characters and content will be introduced to DCU’s online world.
Coast City for one thing, the home of Ferris Aircraft and Hal Jordan, where a battle with the Red Lantern Corps takes place.
The STAR Labs will also be brought into the MMOG, where Braniac plays around with his experiments and gadgets, attempting to harness the power of the Corps’ rings (a scenario here sees a desperate alliance between Green and Yellow Lantern Corps, apparently).
And then there’s the Sciencells Prison on the Corps’ home planet Oa, where the heroes must stop a prison break, with the villains fighting to break out alongside Sinestro.
Mark Anderson, Game Director of DC Universe Online, commented: “The Green Lantern has been a mainstay for DC Comics fans for more than 60 years, and is a fan favourite among our players.”
“We’ve listened to the feedback, and fans can now create their own Lantern-inspired characters including the use of light powers.”
The DLC pack will be out at some point in the next couple of months on both PS3 and PC, costing $10.
