Halls of Power Part I DLC Coming to DC Universe Online
SAN DIEGO - July 2, 2014 - Sony Online Entertainment LLC today announced the next chapter in
DC Universe™ Online (DCUO): Halls of Power Part I. The acclaimed massive online action game's 11th downloadable content (DLC) pack will introduce a brand-new storyline featuring the New Gods of Apokolips and New Genesis as they search for powerful ancient relics of a bygone age.

JENS' TAKE: "We know our players experience a tremendous sense of camaraderie when they take on adventures together, so we wanted to pack a variety of challenging group content into this DLC that we know they will enjoy. We're also expanding the DCUO storyline, introducing players to characters from both New Genesis and Apokolips, and we think heroes and villains alike will be very pleased with how the Halls of Power trilogy evolves." - Jens Andersen, Senior Creative Director, DC Universe Online.
