Sony has announced that the third major DLC pack for DC Universe Online, “The Battle for Earth”, is now available for PC and PlayStation 3. The downloadable content features the Earth Powers set, as well as new multiplayer and open world content as players face down the nefarious Braniac.
The new content includes:
* Themyscira - Experience a new Raid on Wonder Woman’s home island that pits players against Chimeric Brainiacs and ultimately, the deadly Avatar of Magic. Players will fight alongside mythical creatures such as Cyclops, Hydra and Colossus, while simultaneously protecting key units of Amazons and Beastimorphs.
-
South Gotham Brainiac Invasion - Super-charged action continues as players battle Brainiac’s invasion force in the streets of South Gotham, the Courthouse Alert and new Duos. Working to stop Brainiac’s Union – formed by the people trapped inside the bottled buildings – who are constructing Proto-Avatars to assault Gotham, players will be challenged to rise up and defend Earth against Brainiac’s final assault.
-
The Prime Battleground - The Battle for Earth storyline leads players into an epic battle in which they must fight all three of Brainiac’s newly completed Prime Avatars, and then Brainiac himself. Heroes will fight for the safety of the Earth and its inhabitants, while Villains will want to defeat Brainiac and expand the influence of evil across the planet.
The ninth power set, Earth Powers, includes new tanking and damage skills such as Geokinesis abilities which give players the ability to shape Earthen constructs to crush enemies, while Seismic abilities allow players to cause ground effects to rattle and daze opponents.
The Battle for Earth DLC is free for Legendary members and $9.99 for Free and Premium members, which can be purchased from the in-game marketplace, PlayStation Network, and from DCUniverseOnline.com.
