SOE announced today the first in a series of downloadable content, “Fight for the Light” which is the first time the Green Lantern has made an appearance on DCUO.
For $9.99 you can’t quite become a member of the Corps, but you can get a power ring and hard light powers. In time of great emergencies the rings duplicate themselves and recruit temporary members of the Corps, which is what has happened in DCUO. You’ll be able to gather the green, yellow, or red rings. In an interview with kotaku.com, DCUO Creative Director said the rest of the colors are in the works. While wielding a ring, you’ll be able to create weapons to fight the bad (or good) guys.
By purchasing the content, you’ll also be able to play these all new scenarios:
S.T.A.R. Labs – Deep within S.T.A.R Labs, Brainiac seeks to control experimental devices that will allow him to harness the power source behind the Lantern Corps’ rings. This attack throws the Lantern Corps into chaos, and players must join a fragile truce between the Green and Yellow Lantern Corps to bring the powerful devices back under STAR Labs control.
Coast City – Players must battle their way through the “City Without Fear” to Ferris Aircraft, the home of fighter ace Hal Jordan. Here they face the unbridled rage of the Red Lantern Corps in a showdown to save the city and the Universe.
Sciencells Prison – On the Green Lantern Corp’s home planet Oa, heroes will join with Guy Gardner to stop a prison break that threatens to release the most feared prisoners of the Green Lantern Corps. Villains will fight alongside Sinestro as he attempts to release the Green Lantern Corps’ greatest foes and retrieve the evil Lyssa Drak from her emerald powered prison cell.
Many are put off by this having to pay for an expansion less than a year after the game’s release. What do you think?
