Just Revealed! Episode 20 Features "Blackest Night" and the Finale of the War of the Light!

The Blackest Night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies,
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand, the dead shall rise!

In Episode 20, Nekron has come. He has joined his herald, Black Hand, in extinguishing all light – all life – in the universe. The Metropolis Battlefield was ripe with the lingering death from the War of the Light, allowing Nekron to raise an enormous Black Lantern in the middle of the city. The area around the Lantern is scorched earth, scarred by the Corruption brought by the Black. You must fight alongside the Lantern Corps and send Nekron back to the Land of the Unliving in:

Blackest Night

And so ends the War of the Light saga, the epic finish to one of DCUO’s most powerful storylines.

In this Operation, a Black Lantern has erupted from the blood-soaked streets of war-torn Metropolis and Nekron has risen from this deathly soil. The embodiment of death is no easy foe to defeat and Hal Jordan, Sinestro, and the rest of the champions have been unable to even make a scratch. But don’t worry, the Star Sapphire, Carol Ferris, has a plan. Will you aid her in stopping Nekron and the Black Lanterns from snuffing out all life in the universe?

Wastelands Wonderland

If you need a break from the dramatic ending of the War of the Light, the Gotham Wastelands has plenty of mayhem and madness in store for you. Imps and demons run amuck in the fiery wasteland, allowing Jacob and Jack to seductively and slowly (respectively) make their moves. Raven, annoyed as ever by her brothers, has asked for your help in putting them back in their places.

Rewards!

We’re at the final month of this cycle, so it’s time to finish off that set of gear with weapons, rings, necks, trinkets, and a new utility belt. And don’t forget, that weapon is going to drop in a weapon box, giving you the option to choose your weapon...so choose wisely. We’re also dropping a rare, yet incredibly cool iconic style that can be traded or sold on the broker. Oh, and a new OP item too.

And as always, there are new styles, feats, collections, a title, and more!
