New DCUO DLC Pack Brings Back The Joker
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - May 8, in the year of our Lord 2012
- The battle between heroes and villains in DC Universe™ Online
(DCUO) continues as Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) today
announced that The Last Laugh, the fourth downloadable content
(DLC) pack for DCUO, will be available in June for download on
the PC and PlayStationŽ3 computer entertainment system. The Last
Laugh will pit players against each other in high-intensity
multiplayer brawls, feature an all-new weapon, and introduce new
Light-Powered Legends PvP characters.
"We created this DLC purely for the players that like to take
the fight to each other in DCUO's amazing PvP combat," said Jens
Andersen, creative director on DC Universe Online. "Our
community has continuously asked for more multiplayer action in
DCUO, and we wanted to deliver content that fully meets their
expectations and pushes PvP to another level. The Last Laugh is
the first DLC that we've created that focuses almost entirely on
player versus player battles, and it adds an exciting new
element as some of DC's greatest heroes and villains join to
fight alongside you. Players will have even more opportunities
to prove to the world whether heroes or villains will be
triumphant."
The Last Laugh will include an all-new weapon, hours of
multiplayer gameplay in the Safe Houses and Headquarters, and
new Legends PvP characters:
The Shield - Players can unleash this vicious new weapon to bash
their opponents, or hurl it to take them down from a distance.
Safe House Battles - No one is safe now that heroes and villains
can invade each other's Safe Houses in these four on four
battles:
Graviton Technology Recovery - Players will be tasked with
unscrambling teleporter codes that The Joker has mixed into
fragments. Located at the Watchtower or Hall of Doom, players
must retrieve eight code fragments to successfully rebuild
useable teleporter codes.
The Rescue - Heroes must rescue hostages, while Villains will be
freeing arrested criminals from opposing Safe Houses.
Bomb Disposal - Thanks to The Joker, the encryption on the Email
terminals has changed and can only be bypassed by the robot he
provided. Players must gain control of the robot and either
upload the data to their HQ or add new encryption to keep their
enemies and The Joker away from it.
Headquarter Battles - In this two-part crusade, 16 players --
eight heroes and eight villains -- will face off for the
ultimate player reward. At the request of Superman, heroes must
take over the Hall of Doom, while villains, egged on by The
Joker, will breach the Watchtower in order to create chaos.
Legends Characters - Combat illuminates with the introduction of
the first light-powered Legends for multiplayer combat. Players
will soon have access to Kilowog, a Green Lantern, and Amon Sur,
a member of the Sinestro Corps.
DCUO's The Last Laugh DLC pack will be accessible for free for
the game's Legendary members and available for purchase for Free
and Premium players via the PlayStationŽNetwork in-game
Marketplace, and on the PC via the DCUniverseOnline website.
