If you didn’t get a chance to try out one of the first MMO-RPG’s for a console game with the DC Universe Online Beta don’t worry cause the game comes out in a week, but will have a monthly or yearly subscription fee. Those of you who do have the beta, it ends tonight and is going out with a bang as you can fight as either faction alongside whomever. I played it on the Playstation 3 and was blown away with how well the beta alone was as well as a console MMO actual working. We will have a review up soon but here is our preview until then and below is the Saturday Night Press Release for the ‘Battle of the Legends’.
DC Universe™ Online Battle of the Legends
In recognition of our beta community’s great support and feedback and celebration of our impending 1/11/11 launch, SOE will be closing the DCUO beta on Wednesday, January 5 with a cataclysmic beta ending event, “Battle of the Legends.”
Based on the events revealed this summer in our “Who Do You Trust?” cinematic trailer, Beta players can align and fight alongside or against some of DC Comics’ most legendary heroes and villains, including Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor and The Joker. Join us and take this last shot at creating your legacy! Become part of this epic conflict when it erupts on your server.
If for some reason you’re unable to attend, don’t worry – we’ll be updating you on the status of the battles on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/DCUniverseOnline. And to sweeten the pot, some “legendary” guests of our own joining in on the fun, playing as the iconic characters:
