Hi there,

You can download screenshots in support of this story from our livedrive, including the full press release, the text of which is below:

Unterföhring – Dec. 11, 2013 – The European Publisher ProSiebenSat.1 Games and Developer Sony Online Entertainment, LLC (SOE) today announced the next installment in the DC Universe™ Online (DCUO) narrative, War of the Light Part I. Introducing a brand-new storyline, the ninth downloadable content (DLC) pack introduces the Blue Lantern Corps to DCUO and brings a new power set – Rage, which can be used by both heroes and villains. Players will also have access to new Legends PvP characters – Saint Walker and Atrocitus. The DLC will be available for download on the PC early next year.

“Our first DLC introduced Light Powers and allowed players to feel the awesome abilities of the Power Rings employed by Hal Jordan and Sinestro in the pages of the comics,” said Jens Andersen, Senior Creative Director for DC Universe Online.  “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.”

Added Andersen, “War of the Light Part I will let players explore new and reimagined environments in DCUO. They 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. These environments play a big part in the storyline and we look forward to expanding each of them as the trilogy unfolds.”

War of the Light Part I is one of three upcoming downloadable content packs that focus on characters that manipulate power from the Emotional Spectrum. Players can expect to see additional corps introduced by the end of the trilogy.
In War of the Light Part I, lanterns of all colors have lost connection with their emotional spectrum entities. Following cryptic evidence, four Corps – Green, Blue, Sinestro, and Red – converged on Earth determined to find their entities. The clash of Lantern Corps has resulted in a new war of light, centered in Downtown Metropolis and nearby sentient planets Mogo and Ranx. Players must team up with Hal Jordan or Sinestro in high-level multiplayer adventures to investigate the colored mists that have descended upon Metropolis and are affecting the citizens’ emotions.

War of the Light Part I will include:

• New Rage Power – The game’s 12th Power Set is a product of red light of rage and can be utilized for both good and evil. Heroes and villains who wield the tank power will notice its abilities have a berserker style feel. 
• New 4-Player Operations – Unusual colored mists have appeared and caused a new war of light, centered in Downtown Metropolis, Mogo and Ranx. With the help of friends, including Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner on the hero’s side, and Hank Henshaw and Sinestro on the villain’s side, players must uncover the origin of the mysterious mists.
• New 8-Player Operation  – The Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps clash while investigating the mists in this new raid that takes place on Mogo and Ranx.
• New Legends PvP Characters – War of the Light Part I introduces two new Lanterns – the violent Atrocitus and the agile Saint Walker.
• New gear and collections.

DCUO’s War of the Light Part I DLC pack will be a free download for the game’s Legendary members and will be available later this winter for purchase by Free and Premium players via the DCUniverseOnline.eu website.

Hi there,

Becoming a resident of Norrath has never been so sweet! Starting today, new, current and returning EverQuest II players will be able to jump into the action and create level 85 Heroic Characters. The new program enables everyone to leap into the heart of the unfolding EverQuest II main storyline and prepare for the November launch of the Tears of Veeshan expansion.

Screenshots to support this story can be grabbed right here.

To kick off the program, SOE and ProSiebenSat.1 Games are hosting a “Hero’s Call” promotion: for a limited time new, returning and current players can create one permanent Heroic Character for FREE. The “Hero’s Call” event will run October 1-15.

Outside of the “Hero’s Call” promotion, the Heroic Characters Program has three options for players: Try Before You Buy, New Heroic Character, and Upgrade Existing Character.

1. Try Before You Buy: This option offers one full level of play from Level 85 to 86 – which takes a typical player several hours - with 100 Alternate Advancement (AA) points to test out a class of your choice at a high level. The Free Trial includes a flying mount, armor, consumables, and a few restrictions.

2. New Heroic Character: A full Heroic Character can be purchased at Character Select or while playing as a Free Trial character. It includes level 85, 280 AAs, all items included in the Free Trial, and is unrestricted.

3. Upgrade Existing Character: The Upgrade option allows you to select any existing character at any level and upgrade it to a Heroic Character. All upgraded characters receive level 85 and are increased to 280 AAs, but not beyond. If you are above level 85 and have more than 280 AAs, you won't receive additional levels or points, but will get a bundle of items that includes the flying mount, armor, and consumables.

03.09.2013, Munich – Magic Radiates through Infernal Gotham in Game’s Eighth DLC Pack; Team Up with Wonder Woman or Circe to Battle Trigon.

ProSiebenSat.1 Games and Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) today announced that Sons of Trigon, the eighth downloadable content (DLC) pack for DC Universe™ Online (DCUO), is now available for download on the PC. With this next chapter, players must battle alongside Wonder Woman or her adversary, Circe, through a hellish Gotham City landscape to defeat Trigon. In addition to new high-level Duo, Alert and Solo adventures, players now have access to new Legends PvP characters Donna Troy and Cheetah – the first speedster on the Legends roster. Sons of Trigon introduces the game’s 11th Power, Celestial, which is focused on healing and lets players create impressive combinations utilizing its Blessed or Cursed ability trees.

Truth be told

“Along with Duo and Solo content, we placed a larger emphasis on magic with this DLC. From fights alongside Wonder Woman and Circe to a new fast-action power, Celestial, Sons of Trigon requires great mastery and skill from players,” said Jens Andersen, Senior Creative Director for DC Universe Online. “This storyline exemplifies our ability to create compelling narratives that help players fully immerse themselves in the DC Universe. About two years ago, we left players with a huge cliffhanger. With Sons of Trigon, players are finally getting to see what happened to Trigon and resolve the storyline, which will be extremely satisfying.”

All Hell breaks loose

Sons of Trigon DLC picks up where the Sins of the Father storyline left off. Through blood ritual, Trigon escaped his dimension and was preparing to attack the Earth. However, he became trapped in a different dimension – a nightmare version of Gotham City, a wasteland filled with sin. In this new DLC, Heroes and Villains will explore this wasteland as they race to confront Trigon and three of his sons, who each represent one of the seven deadly sins. Players will also encounter Raven and the Teen Titans, the Fearsome Five: Psimon, Mammoth, Jinx, Gizmo and Doctor Light, Gentlemen Ghost and John Constantine.

Sons of Trigon introduces:

- New Celestial Power focused on healing
- New shared zone, Gotham Wasteland – featuring daily solo missions
- New Alert, “The Mausoleum” – featuring a final battle with Trigon
- Three new Duos battling three of Trigon’s sons who each represent one of the seven deadly sins
- New Legends PvP characters – Cheetah and Donna Troy
- New Gear, including PvE iconic gear based on Brother Blood and Raven
- New Feats and Collections

DCUO’s Sons of Trigon DLC pack is a free download for the game’s Legendary members and is now available for EUR 8,99 /GBP 7,99  for Free and Premium players via the in-game Marketplace or via the DC Universe Online website.
