“In BIRDS OF PREY, Oracle faces new challenges: Lex Luthor is back and more dangerous than ever, citizens need immediate help as Luthor’s plot turns Metropolis into a near lawless war-zone, and her scrappy bunch of most-trusted associates might be too busy roasting and fighting and mistrusting each other to get the job done. With time running out and a deeper threat to investigate, will Oracle be able to mold her… vibrant… friends into the new kickass team she needs? Or will the Super-Villains have their day?”
There’s not much to the announcement, but the studio does promise a “large-scale episode” with “level-agnostic” content and “singleplayer and multiplayer adventures set in familiar and remote locales, including Oracle’s iconic Clock Tower base,” plus new gear, artifacts, base stuff, and feats. There’s also a nod to the female characters featured in the episode, from Oracle (yes, that’s Babs)Â to Harley Quinn.
“[T]he Birds of Prey comics series highlighted so many amazing female characters written in a way that was extremely relatable,” DCUO creative director SJ Mueller writes. “It inspired me to become not just a fan, but a creator.”
