It’s time for the anti-heroes to jump to the forefront. Daybreak added Episode 34: Justice League Dark to DC Universe Online. It’s no accident that this update launched a week before the Shazam movie is set to release in theaters because the wizard Shazam appears in this update alongside some of your favorite ethereal masters like Constantine, Zatanna, and Dr. Fate.
You’re in luck if you’re a fan of DCUO and haven’t played in a while because all the Justice League Dark content will be available to you for a limited time in what Daybreak is calling a special event version. Look for the “event” versions in your On-Duty tab. There you can find the new Duo called Pub Crawl, the New Alert Darkness Raising, and two new raids, Fellowship of the Arcane and Shattered Gotham. Bear in mind, you need to reach level 10 before participating in the event versions of the new content.
When you log in, you might notice the tentacles in the sky above Gotham now, and if you’d like to find what those are all about, then you will want to talk to Dr. Fate if you’re a hero or Felix Faust if you’re a villain. They will jump start the open-world mission, Chaos Gotham.
Beyond all that, Episode 34 introduces new base items, feats, a new event currency, four new artifacts, and new gear inspired by Etrigan and Steve Trevor.
Side note for those new to the franchise: Shazam is the name of the wizard, but it’s also the name of the power the superhero wields. But the real name of the wizard is Mamaragan and not Shazam, and because it became too confusing to call the superhero Billy Batson Captain Marvel because of Captain Marvel over at Marvel Studios, we call Billy Batson in superhero form Shazam. But today we are talking about the wizard. Are you still reading this? Here’s a preview livestream for Episode 34 by the DCUO developer crew:
