I’m Al Rivera, Creative Director of DC Universe Online, and I’m here today to talk about the exciting narrative changes that are on the way to our beloved MMORPG.
Starting with our next update, Light and Rain: Day of Reckoning, our team will be sharing stories over the course of multiple chapters instead of the one-off format that we’ve traditionally taken.
What does that mean for players? Let’s get into it! Show me a comic fan, and I’ll show you a person who appreciates deep narratives told over the long haul.
We love one-shot books as much as the next person, but we felt that there was an opportunity for us to lean into what makes comics engaging.
That’s why we’re taking a new approach and telling stories through “story arcs” and “chapters.” Chapters are part of a larger story arc, and our premier story arc, Light and Rain, officially begins with the release of its first chapter called Day of Reckoning, which I’m proud to reveal will be available next week.
