14 DAY TRIAL // DC Universe Online, the new super hero and super villain online game from Sony Online Entertainment, will receive its first paid downloadable content pack, based on popular hero Green Lantern.
DC Universe Online has received a lot of content since its release earlier this year, with Sony and DC Comics partnering up to deploy themed expansions to the online game in order to keep players attracted to the experience.
The first full-pledged DLC for the game has now been detailed, with Sony set to deploy the premium Green Lantern pack later this summer.
"The Green Lantern has been a mainstay for DC Comics fans for more than 60 years, and is a fan favorite among our players," said Mark Anderson, game director of DC Universe Online. "We've listened to the feedback, and fans can now create their own Lantern-inspired characters including the use of light powers."
The Green Lantern DLC is based on the Hal Jordan version of the super hero, and introduces a seventh power set, Light, into the online game, as well as new gameplay scenarios that are based on the mythos of the character, including the areas mentioned below by Sony.
S.T.A.R. Labs – Deep within S.T.A.R Labs, Brainiac seeks to control experimental devices that will allow him to harness the power source behind the Lantern Corps' rings. This attack throws the Lantern Corps into chaos, and players must join a fragile truce between the Green and Yellow Lantern Corps to bring the powerful devices back under STAR Labs control.
Coast City – Players must battle their way through the "City Without Fear" to Ferris Aircraft, the home of fighter ace Hal Jordan. Here they face the unbridled rage of the Red Lantern Corps in a showdown to save the city and the Universe.
Sciencells Prison – On the Green Lantern Corp's home planet Oa, heroes will join with Guy Gardner to stop a prison break that threatens to release the most feared prisoners of the Green Lantern Corps. Villains will fight alongside Sinestro as he attempts to release the Green Lantern Corps' greatest foes and retrieve the evil Lyssa Drak from her emerald-powered prison cell.
The Green Lantern DLC for DC Universe online is set to be released later this summer for PC and PlayStation 3 owners of the game for $9.99, but you can enjoy four screenshots of the new pack below.
