Video game developer Sony Online Entertainment announces that the War of the Light Part I event for DC Universe Online is now going live for all Legendary users of the MMO, allowing them to get access to an entirely new storyline.

The company explains in an official announcement that, "Master the new Red Lantern-inspired Rage powers, explore Ranx and Mogo, and see the War of the Light begin in a new version of Metropolis!"

SOE encourages all players to upgrade their membership and take advantage of exclusive deals but those who are willing to wait, both Free and Premium, will be able to get access to War of the Light starting on January 28 in North America and one day later in Europe.

DC Universe Online is based on comic books and the studio has almost infinite storylines to draw from and incorporate into the MMO, as long as it has a solid player base.
