The third DLC pack for DC Universe Online, “The Battle for Earth”, will be hitting PC and PlayStation 3 on the 13th March. The new DLC includes the all-new Earth Powers set as well as a new storyline that leads to an epic showdown with Brainiac.
The Battle for Earth features new open world content, Duos, an Alert, and two Raids, including:
* 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: Supercharged 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 in to 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 Earth Powers set is the 9th for the MMO, and is optimal for characters who want to tank and deal damage - including a special mechanic that defers damage to a player’s constructs and automatons. Geokinesis abilities allow players to shape Earthen constructs to crush enemies and reinforce allies. Seismic abilities allow players to rattle and daze opponents with earth shaking attacks.
The Battle for Earth will be available for free for the game’s Legendary members and available for purchase for Free and Premium players from the PlayStation Network, the in-game Marketplace, and on PC from DCUniverseOnline.com.
