STAND WITH THE JUSTICE LEAGUE AND JUSTICE SOCIETY IN"STARRO THE CONQUEROR" AND "AGE OF JUSTICE"DC Universe Online's next major content releases pit players against the Justice League's first foe, Starro, and against the Justice Society's greatest challenge, the Second World War. The new event and episode will launch this April and June. NEW EVENT: STARRO THE CONQUEROR In STARRO THE CONQUEROR, a new large-scale event launching this April, Starro and his minions are assaulting citizens in Central City, controlling iconic heroes and villains across the DC Universe, and preparing for an all-out invasion of Earth. SJ'S TAKE: "Starro was the first villain the Justice League ever faced as a team, so he's significant both historically and as a major threat to the universe. We’re talking way back in the Silver Age in Brave and the Bold #28! We’ve given him an update, and he will bring his devastating affinity for mind control to bear in DCUO." - SJ Mueller, DC Universe Online Creative Director THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT STARRO THE CONQUEROR: Starro The Conqueror will be a limited-time, large-scale, and recurring event accessible to all players. The event will feature a variety of single and multiplayer adventures, including: Open world missions set in a new area of Central City. 2, 4, and 8-player instances set in a variety of locales across the DC Universe. A special Members-only version of the 8-player raid at end-game difficulty. The event will launch new player rewards, including new gear, styles, base items, and feats. The STARRO THE CONQUEROR event will be available and accessible to all players this April on the PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One systems. NEW EPISODE: AGE OF JUSTICE In AGE OF JUSTICE, DCUO's 28th episode launching this June, timelines are becoming unstable, universes are collapsing, and a new threat is moving to remake the future by undoing victories of the past. Today's heroes and villains will travel back in time to 1940's World War II to confront this threat and assist the Justice Society in their ongoing fight. SJ'S TAKE: "The fabric of our reality is so fragile that any time travel is a tremendous risk, but protecting this moment in time is a risk worth taking. Gather your team and set your clocks back to 1944, because the JSA and the Blackhawks need you to stop the greatest threat the 20th century has ever seen!" - SJ Mueller, DC Universe Online Creative Director THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT AGE OF JUSTICE: Age of Justice will be a large-scale episode, included with Membership or available for purchase. The episode will feature a variety of open world and instanced content at end-game difficulty.

Nice we finally get Starro. This is going to be fun. Also, maybe we'll get to see some classic JSA baddies, like Per Degaton.
All great and amazing news, the one thing is you just made a grave error, giving out dates, you know just how bad that always ends up. Don't be mad when April comes and people start flooding the pages asking for news about the content update.
These are not directly related to content launches, and will continue at the 9-12 week pace we have set. No new info on TCs today.
I just love the whole Golden Age/WW2 era for heroes. Any chance we can revisit the past after finishing the episode and adventure with the various All Star Squadron members? Plastic Man! Uncle Sam! Airwave! Robotman! Phantom Lady! Wildfire! Johnny Quick and all the rest!
