DC Universe Online Articles
The DC Universe Online site has been updated with a literal DELUGE of information on the game's next episode. Called 'Deluge' (see what I did there?), the new content will be available soon for anyone over level 10, but there are also two brand new Elite raids for top level players. In addition, players will see Starro's Invasion make a return as a permanent part of the game and find some all-new "iconic Aquaman characters" coming.
In a new post on the DC Universe Online site, the dev team teases out "Deluge" where the "Atlanteans Rise & Superman dies". Then, half a breath later, the same folks mention that Superman's 80th birthday is coming up and that it's something that will be celebrated in game. Let's hope he lives long enough...
It's hard to believe that it's been seven big years since the launch of Daybreak's DC Universe Online.

All players will also be treated to the Dark Spector Batsuit for 2018 that has been updated for this event.

The DC Universe Online team has sent word that the Artifact System is now in place in the game. Artifacts are a gear piece that is placed into a new gear slot.

If you have a PlayStation 3 and have been enjoying DC Universe Online for a number of years, you may be sad to hear that support for PS3 is ending on January 31, 2018.
