DC Universe Online gets first game update, SOE has more on the way

by Mike Schramm on Feb 22nd 2011 10:30PM

The first major update for DC Universe Online is now available for both the PS3 and PC versions of the game (just a day or so after the first buyers' subscription plans kicked in). The patch includes a new eight-player raid inside the Batcave; a number of new missions based around Catwoman and other DC luminaries; some "Love is a Battlefield" holiday content and the long-awaited Auction House functionality. Sony is also streamlining the social UI quite a bit, answering players' wishes for an easier-to-use chat system.

And if that's not enough updating for you, Sony has started revealing what's coming next in an interview over at PC Gamer. More bugfixes are incoming, including fixes to issues around voice chat and grouping. In future content, Sony's Chris Cao says that The Penguin is going to get his due, as well as the Flash and some of his associated heroes. It all sounds fun -- SOE promised to push updates quickly on this one, and this free content is its first delivery.

Still Waiting to see if they ever combine the pc and PS3 players.
That would be a huge announcement, not to mention for the game they could give it a big ingame event

@Jawmuncher they're probably not going to do it until population is so bad they have no choice but to do it.

@Jawmuncher

It would have to be called something like "Crisis on Two Platforms."

Sucks I canceled before the first months billing cycle went into effect. I admire the work that was done on DCUO but damn, it's such an empty shell of a game. It was my first time playing a SoE game and hopefully the last. :/

@Imdavid what do you mean empty shell?

Too bad this will go tits up soon and the servers will be shut down.

This game needs Aquaman driving an RV across America

Good game made better with an awesome first patch

Is no one else horrified by the little man-baby angel thingy in the corner of that picture?

@xHotPotatox

I am...that was the first thing I noticed actually and was even more confused when I read the headline associated with the picture....

I do NOT remember that cankle-legged-man-babies in the DC universe.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though...I've been out of the loop in comics for awhile now.

@xHotPotatox

Yeah, I saw that too. That's like the evil version of Cupid that only comes out after you've downed a few pints of beer, and even lawn gnomes start to look hot to you. Chilling.
