The game may have gone free to play, but that doesn’t mean that Sony has pulled the plug. Today Sony announced the second expansion for DC Universe Online, “Lightning Strikes”, which will introduce new heroes, villains, areas, and a power set – lightning. The pack will be coming later this year, and while it will cost $9.99 to those playing for free or under a premium plan, it will be free for Legendary subscribers.
The new area is Central City in the past, as the new duo will apparently send you back in time to the origin of Barry Allen…to replace him in it. On top of the playable Central city, Heroes will have to contend with the Rogues, while villains will have to deal with the Titans (including Static). The Flash Museum will also apparently be explorable.
The new powerset, electricity, is actually slated to be a healing and support class, curiously enough.
Despite not really being high on the radar, I’ve actually enjoyed my time in DCUO…even if I haven’t played in a few months. I keep thinking about getting back in, so hey, why not? I’ll give this a shot.
