DC Universe Online Is Celebrating Their One Year Anniversary

Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) today celebrates DC Universe Online�s one-year anniversary. The award-winning, free-to-play, massively multiplayer online (MMO) game launched last January, becoming the first MMO available for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the first MMO based in the DC Universe.

Since January 2011, DC Universe Online has steadily increased its content with downloadable content (DLC) packs and game updates. Players have gained countless in-game items and have been introduced to Ra�s al Ghul, The Fortress of Solitude, Larfleeze, amongst many other notable DC Universe characters and storylines. Along with this, The Flash and Green Lantern have also joined the team, delivering their electricity and light powers to players through paid DLC packs.

Since launch, DCUO has seen:

More than 3.5 million Heroes, more than 2 million Villains
More than 1.8 million registered players on PC, and more than 2.3 million registered players on PS3
3.6 million days of playtime total by all players in-game
More than 1,200 new NPC characters added since launch
More than 200 new quests added since launch
More than 2,500 new items added since launch
More than 15 new zones added since launch
More than 1,800 new encounters since launch

To celebrate the game�s one-year anniversary, players will receive a special one-of-a-kind One Year Anniversary Cape that features a number "1" on the back. The cape will be granted to players through their mission journal on January 11. The character must exist on the 11th to be eligible to receive the mission. However, players do not need to log in on the 11th; as long as the character exists on the 11th, players will receive the mission the next time they log in.
