DCUO preps WWII-era Age of Justice update for June

There’s some positive word-of-mouth bubbling out about this summer’s Wonder Woman feature film, which, if true, would be a boon to the bruised DC movie franchise. While the film is set during World War I, the team over at DC Universe Online is preparing its own retro story, this one set during World War II.

The Age of Justice update is scheduled to arrive globally on June 1st, teleporting players back to the beginning of the Justice Society of America in the 1940s. Alternate histories will be explored, including a time-ravaged Area 51 and a European village under the thumb of Axis leader Baron Von Savage. There will also be plenty of four- and eight-player instances to overcome.

Free players who are not subscribers and haven’t purchased the episode will be treated to a one-month preview of the war-torn village map with limited rewards. Speaking of rewards, there are several “time-torn energy” styles and gear sets, as well as base items, feats, and titles.
