Sony has just revealed that, in honor of the 1-year anniversary of its DC Universe Online MMO, all players who have characters in the online game will get a special cape.
DC Universe Online was released at the beginning of last year, offering a quality superhero online experience. At the end of 2011, Sony turned the MMO into a
free-to-play title, thus recording a massive boost in popularity.
Now, although it may be hard to believe, more than a year has passed since the launch of the online game.
"We broke a lot of new ground with last year's launch of DC Universe Online, both by successfully creating the first PS3 MMO community and adding true action combat to the genre," said Lorin Jameson, Executive Director of Development, Sony Online Entertainment. "The free-to-play transition at the end of last year is a proof point that our community is stronger and larger than ever. We are very proud of what we've accomplished thus far and look forward to continuously striving to improve the game."
In order to put things into perspective, SOE also released some interesting stats about the game and its users.
Since launch, DCUO has seen:
More than 3.5 million Heroes, more than 2 million Villains
More than 1.8 million registered players on PC, and more than 2.3 million registered players on PS3
3.6 million days of playtime total by all players in-game
More than 1,200 new NPC characters added since launch
More than 200 new quests added since launch
More than 2,500 new items added since launch
More than 15 new zones added since launch
More than 1,800 new encounters since launch
As a special celebratory gift, in order to make players feel special, everyone who had a character in DC Universe Online on January 11 is going to receive a special One Year Anniversary Cape, which you can check out in the image above.
