    Episode 18 Member and Marketplace Launch Dates Confirmed!

    Episode 18 launches for Members on Wednesday, November 4, 2015, followed by the Marketplace launch (for non-Members) on November 11, 2015. Episode 18 features penultimate chapters in two of our ongoing storylines. "Blackest Day" is an 8-player Operation that will lead us to the finale of the War of the Light, and "The Demon's Pit" is a 2-player Duo that sets up a final confrontation with the League of Assassins.




    Game Update 54: New R&D Gear System, Power Updates, and Cross Faction PvE!

    Game Update 54 ALSO launches on November 4, 2015! Of note, GU54 introduces the new R&D Gear System, just in time for Episode 18. (At launch, the system is only implemented for Episode 18.)

    But that's not all, because the update also brings Cross Faction PvE, Suicide Squad style AND midrange power updates for Fire, Gadgets, and Quantum.


    New Powerset: Atomic!

    Blast your enemies with the new Atomic powers, a Tank and Damage powerset focused on manipulating nuclear energy. Atomic launches for all players on November 4, 2015. Members will automatically have access to Atomic, while non-Members will be able to purchase it in the Marketplace.


    That's right - Episode 18, Atomic, R&D Gear System, Cross Faction PvE, midrange power updates and the rest of Game Update 54 all launch this Wednesday, November 4, 2015. Subscribe today so you don't miss a moment!

    I am drooling over Episode 18.... but could we please get this Chest Style for Episode 20 when you introduce Nekron?

    (Mummy Backup Trinket just in general would be awesome, too, but that's not even a little bit related to the announcement)
