Warner Bros announces DC Universe MOBA game 'Infinite Crisis'

Comic readers, gamers, and fans of the DC Universe have a lot to be excited for in 2013. Besides the release of the new Superman film “Man Of Steel” and the fighting game “Injustice: Gods Among Us”, Warner Bros has announced a new video game property that gives players a chance to play their favorite heroes and villains and duke it out with one another – “Infinite Crisis”. According to a report by comingsoon.net, Infinite Crisis is a Free-To-Play, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena video game styled like League of Legends and the Warcraft III mod “Defense Of The Ancients”. The new game was developed by Turbine, which had also worked on WB’s other F2P, MOBA property “The Lord Of The Rings Online”. Featuring countless versions of DC Comics characters that span the fictional DC Multiverse, players can choose and take control of different incarnations of popular heroes such as Batman or villains from parallel universes such as Lex Luthor, and square off in an online battle arena where the possibilities are endless. "We are thrilled to bring Infinite Crisis, a truly competitive experience featuring the DC Comics lore and characters, to the MOBA genre," said Martin Tremblay, President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Turbine is a pioneer in online gaming and combined with the amazing world of DC Comics, they are executing on a game concept that expands the MOBA genre." "The Turbine team is very excited to reveal Infinite Crisis to the world and extend the MOBA genre with new features," said Jeffrey Steefel, Executive Producer of Turbine. "We are utilizing years of experience in the online game space to deliver innovations to the MOBA genre with a game that features fast-paced action, a major story arc, destructible environments, catastrophic events and a deep roster of iconic DC Comics characters." Following the announcement, Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, and Turbine have released the very first “Announce Trailer” for “Infinite Crisis”, giving gamers a glimpse of the multiverse battle to come. Infinite Crisis, a Free-To-Play MOBA video game, is slated for release for the PC sometime in 2013. — DVM, GMA News
