Dimensional Ink Games has revealed the roadmap for the next several months of the superhero MMO DC Universe Online.
Per the latest DCUO Development Update, Episode 46 of DC Universe Online is titled “Justice League Dark Cursed.” It is due to launch this October. Additionally, DCUO is making its way to the latest generation of home consoles with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X releases this holiday season.
What to expect from Justice League Dark Cursed
Dimensional Ink promises that DC Universe Online Episode 46: Justice League Dark Cursed will “offer normal and elite versions of On Duty content, with level-agnostic event versions available for a limited time.” The episode includes open world missions, a solo, an alert, and a raid. It stars such DC characters as Batman, Zatanna, John Constantine, Deadman, and Hecate. It will also launch “new player rewards, including gear, styles, and more.”
Justice League Dark Cursed serves as a direct sequel to DCUO Episode 34: Justice League Dark, which released in 2019. An official synopsis for the new episode reads as follows: “A powerful curse is burning through the world’s most powerful magic users, escalating their powers to dangerously violent extremes! Hoping Batman can take on the hard work, John Constantine’s transported his House of Mystery to overlook Gotham Cemetery, where he and it are now under attack. In JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK CURSED, players will join forces with Batman and members of the Justice League Dark to put an end to this threat to all magic.”
