14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at Sony Online Entertainment announces that it is working on a new piece of content for DC Universe Online called War of the Light Part I, which is set to add the Blue Lantern Corps to the MMO and allow players to use the Rage power set.
The game’s twelfth power set will be offered to both good and bad characters and will give them berserker abilities that make them both withstand and deal more damage than they would do otherwise.
The Rage powers can be used in new 4-player operations that will take place in Metropolis, on Ranx and Mogo, which will see characters like Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner fight for the heroes of the MMO, while Hank Henshaw and Sinestro side with the villains.
A larger battle will involve both the Green Lanterns and the Sinestro Corps.
For Player versus Player combat, gamers involved in DC Universe Online will now be able to select Atrocitus and the Saint Walker and a new range of items and weapons has been added to the game.
Jens Andersen, senior creative director for DC Universe Online, states, “With War of the Light Part I, we are adding another light power to the mix, this one fueled by the Red Light of Rage. Rage Powers will have a brand new tanking mechanic for players to master, adding a whole new strategy to group content.”
SOE plans to add all the other groups powered by emotions to DC Universe Online in two other DLC deliveries that will complete the story of the War of Light trilogy.
The developer says that players “will notice changes to Metropolis, which has been affected by this new war of light, and for the first time they will journey to Mogo, the sentient Green Lantern Planet, and Ranx, the Sentient Sinestro Corp City.”
War of Light for DC Universe Online will be offered on the PlayStation 3 and on the PC and will also be part of the version of the MMO that will arrive on the PS4.
