'DC Universe Online' (ALL) Will Make Public Debut During San Diego Comic-Con This Week

by Rainier on July 15, 2019 @ 11:24 a.m. PDT

Dimensional Ink has built a world where you feel like you've stepped into the DC Universe and become the ultimate super-hero (or villain) along side of Superman, Batman, or Ambush Bug.

Lex Luthor has traveled back through time with news of a dire future: While the heroes and villains spent years battling amongst themselves, Brainiac has been feeding on their powers, building strength to return to Earth and destroy humanity. To change the future, Lex has come back to set off a device that bestows super powers to thousands of every-day citizens and give humanity a fighting chance. Can Brainiac be stopped, or is this another nefarious Lex Luthor plot?

As a traditional action-based MMO that combines fast-paced, twitch-based combat with an interactive physics system to deliver a new and unique gameplay experience, DC Universe Online brings the DC Universe to life, allowing players to create their own superheroes - or villains - and join forces with their favorite DC Comics characters to aid in saving – or destroying – the universe. 

DCUO offers a dramatic online setting where players can enter the DC Universe and battle alongside or against their favorite DC Comics heroes and villains including such icons as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Joker, as well as many other fan favorites such as Green Lantern, The Flash, Catwoman and Martian Manhunter. The action and drama will play out in such well-known locations as Gotham City and Metropolis among others.

DC Universe Online was created in the artistic vision of legendary comic book artist Jim Lee, and set within a world created by famous DC writers including Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman.

Daybreak Games will showcase DC Universe Online for Nintendo Switch at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con running July 17-21.

DC Universe Online will have its first hands-on for fans in the Batcave, part of The Batman Experience Powered by AT&T, an interactive exhibit at The Comic Con Museum in Balboa Park. The game will be available to play throughout the exhibit celebrating Batman’s 80th anniversary Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21. No badge is required to enter.

San Diego Comic-Con attendees will also be able to experience daily live presentations at 11 a.m. at the DC/WB booth (#4545) Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21 led by SJ Mueller, Creative Director of DC Universe Online and Leah Bowers, Executive Producer of DC Universe Online.
