DC Universe Online lands in the PHL

Fans of DC superheroes can now play online with their favorite characters such as Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor or The Joker, after Asiasoft Corp. Public Co. Ltd.'s "DC Universe Online" service for the PC platform went live in Southeast Asia.

 

"DC Universe Online" is a Free-to-Play Massively Multiplayer Online Action Game that allows players to create their own powerful heroes or villains while engaging in story-driven action combat gameplay.

 

"The DC Comics universe has many characters that are popular in Southeast Asian countries, such as Batman, Superman and The Joker, and Asiasoft is proud to partner with Sony Online Entertainment to bring award-winning super-heroes and super-villain gameplay experience in this region," said Quach Dong Quang, Regional Product Director (RPG/Casual) of Asiasoft Corporation Public Company Limited.

 

Quang added that with "DC Universe Online" being the first western free-to-play MMOARPG in this region, "the game is in line with Asiasoft's key strategy to provide top titles to gamers in Southeast Asia."

 

The game, developed by Sony Online Entertainment and licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, was developed in collaboration with creative talents at DC Entertainment.

 

Among the creative talents are Jim Lee (Co-Publisher of DC Entertainment) as the game's Executive Creative Director and Geoff Johns (Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment) and Marv Wolfman as two of the game's story writers.

 

Players who took part in the game's closed beta testing from June 26 to 30 can continue their progression immediately, as there is no character reset.

 

But during launch, players are encouraged to boost up two characters to level 30 for a chance to win a pair of round trip flight fare and accommodation to attend SOE Live in mid-August at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
