DC Universe Online’s Justice League Dark episode launches March 28

Even if you’re not a big fan of DC or superheroes, as an MMO fan you’ve got to be secretly pleased that DC Universe Online keeps on chugging along, seemingly unscathed by Daybreak’s wild dramas over the last few years. I am, anyway. And here we are today with some more good news out of the game: It’s getting a new major episode dubbed Justice League Dark on March 28th.

“In JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK, a giant rift has opened in the sky above Gotham City. A massive, tentacled Daemon is tearing through from another plane as the helpless citizens of Gotham confront the insignificance of their pitiful human existences. Ancient magic is at work, revealing truths perhaps beyond human understanding, truths that threaten madness in the face of the infinite unknown. But Earth is not without defenses against such dread, fright, and terror. Experts in the occult recognize the magical origins of this new chaos, and must now work together and with players to discover the secrets that might turn back this invasion, at least for a time.”

Daybreak is calling it a “large-scale episode with level-agnostic event versions of content” and a “variety of singleplayer and multiplayer adventures set in several magical and otherworldly locales, including the House of Mystery.” And yes, that’s a simultaneous release on PC and console.

JUST ANNOUNCED: DCUO's next episode is Justice League Dark, coming this March! #dcuo #justiceleaguedark #shazam
