Exclusive: Check Out DCUO's New Trailer For Its New Light and Rain Story Arc, Day of Reckoning, Which Is Out Today
DC Universe Online's first major update of the year brings with it a new story arc that will unfold over the coming months and years. Light and Rain debuts with its first chapter, Day of Reckoning today, and we've got the exclusive trailer reveal.
Light and Rain: Day of Reckoning kicks off DC Universe Online's new story arc which, as creative director Al Rivera states in a press release, is part of a «broader story arc» that should unfold over the coming years. Dimensional Ink Games has been teasing Day of Reckoning going back to last December with story blogs to prepare players.
Late last week, the team broke down some of what players should expect with Day of Reckoning, including a renewed focus on character development and story, with Rivera honing in on crafting a broader, more powerful narrative in DC Universe Online.
The Light and Rain story arc aims to do this with its first chapter update. Players will join forces with John Constantine in Kaznia City to help aid his investigation. Set in the snow, art director Scot Boyd says the setting should feel «creepy and kind of isolated» in last week's Behind the Scenes video, highlighting how the environment helps to bring out the «creepy noir, murder mystery» feel of the story. Via today's press release:
«In Day of Reckoning, players journey to the far-off lands of Kaznia City to aid occult detective John Constantine on his latest investigation. As the investigation courses through the city’s snow-lined streets and beyond, players will learn that the stakes extend far beyond a straightforward homicide case. Relationships are stretched to their limits as you learn the supernatural secrets that are in play. „
Check out the full trailer in the embed above. DC Universe Online's new narrative kicks off later today across PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation consoles today.
