    JUST ANNOUNCED AT COMIC CON: the new Water powerset launches August 30, 2017!

    But before we cool down with Water powers, we need to seriously heat this summer up. Every week between now and Water's launch on August 30, we'll have new in-game gifts, in-game member gifts, launches, promotions, and/or Water reveals, all to prepare the world of DC Universe Online for its 15th powerset.

    Read more about DCUO's Comic Con announcements, and check back each week to see whats new in-game and out. To start things off, keep reading for a preview of week one!


    WEEK SIX: THE POWER OF WATER

    Gift: DC Collectibles Comics Super Heroes Aquaman Bust

    The DC Collectibles team recently released this incredible Aquaman bust, and they were kind enough to send it our way. We have converted it into an in-game base item and, yes, everyone gets one this week. This is hands down one of the most stunning base items we have ever been able to create for the game, and we know you are all going to enjoy it. One per account.

    Promotion: Win the Aquaman Bust IRL

    For those of you want the real life version of the DC Collectibles Comics Super Heroes Aquaman Bust, you're in luck. Follow the official DCUO twitter account this week for your chances to win one of these statues for real. (Watch twitter for further instructions later this week!)

    Member Gift: Enhanced Aquaman Emblem

    The one thing better than an iconic Aquaman emblem? An iconic Aquaman emblem that glows in the dark of the deep sea. Members only! UPDATE: The emblem can now be redeemed on ALL characters on your account.

    You know you want one. There's little as perfect and fitting in this world and this summer than a green beach towel with that gold Aquaman emblem, so we have one for everyone's base.

All players can claim this gift.

    WEEK ONE

    The first week's activities kick off July 24, 2017.

    Launch: The Stats Revamp

    We have said it about a thousand times, and it remains true: before Water must come the Stats Revamp. With Water fast approaching, that means the Stats Revamp is here. The Stats Revamp will launch with Game Update 73 on July 26, 2017. Get excited. Get ready. And click here to brush up on the revamp's changes.

    Launch: Arcane Time Capsule

    The next Time Capsule also launches July 26, featuring gear and styles inspired by Green Lantern Alan Scott. This is a fan-favorite and much requested iconic style unlike anything else yet in the game. Curious what else the Time Capsule includes? Check back July 26 to see what's in the new Time Capsule.

    Gift: Open Episodes

    ALSO launching this week? Open Episodes. That's right, Open Episodes are back for all players, young and old. Kick back and play DCUO's first 27 episodes, FREE, through Water's launch on August 30. Open Episodes begin on July 24, 2017.

    Member Gift: War Bonds and Age of Justice Poster

    Members get more. We have TWO special gifts just for members on week one. First, claim a Stack of War Bonds (the vendor currency from Age of Justice), and get a jump start on your next Age of Justice goal. War Bonds can be used on the Age of Justice vendor to purchase gear and other rewards from the episode. Or use them on an alt. Or do whatever you want - no strings attached!

    Second, claim a VERY special base item - the Age of Justice poster featuring Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Alan Scott, drawn by the INCREDIBLE Nicola Scott!


    NOTE: Players must log in between when a gift launches and Water's launch on August 30, 2017, to receive those gifts. New gifts will become available each week. Miss a week? No problem. Logging in on a later week will also grant the prior weeks' rewards, up until August 30, 2017. To receive member gifts, players must log in after each gift has launched and be a member. Anyone can become a member at any time prior to August 30, 2017, log in, and receive member gifts.


    We'll see you in-game getting ready for #ThePowerOfWater!

    Nice!

    I do think Stats Revamp needs at least another week on test though. July 26 seems premature.
