Sony Details New DC Universe Online Expansion
Sony Computer Entertainment has unveiled some new details concerning the upcoming free February DLC for DC Universe Online.
The expansion revolves around Catwoman stirring up trouble in Gotham as she tries to steal Egyptian cat artifacts from the Gotham Museum.
Reports indicate that players will be able to assume the role of Batman's nemesis or go against her in PvP mode as well. The update will also come with Valentine's Day related activities, such as Aphrodite making an appearance in Metropolis and a eight-person raid instance being added for high-level players in the batcave.
According to Chris Cao of Sony, the goal with this coming update was to give all players something no matter if they were low-level or high-level.
“DCUO” is a rarity in the MMO world because you can play on a PC or on the PlayStation 3, and the two hardware platforms draw different audiences,” he said. “On a console, playtime is typically shorter, but people come back and play more often. So the game’s designed to be a lot of fun even in short bursts. The PS3 is competing with cable, with DVR, with Netflix, and you can’t hog the TV for 10 hours a day.”
