Heads or Tails? The choice is yours in DC Universe Online‘s next update!

We’re adding another free batch of new DLC that will introduce you to former Gotham City District Attorney-turned crime boss Harvey Dent/Two-Face. Follow Dent into The Penguin’s hideout to take out his smuggling operation… but will he help or hinder your mission?

Also included in this update is the final part to the Batcave raid where you level 30 players will be face-to-face with the caped crusader and you’ll even see a guest appearance from sneaky trickster Mister Mxyzptlk. Were bringing content for players of all types here so if you’re a solo player, duo champion or veteran raider, get involved.

The Heads or Tails content update for DCUO includes:

TWO-FACE

• Two-Face Instance: Following Harvey Dent/Two-Face on a mission into The Penguin’s hideout, players will aim to take out his latest smuggling operation. The kicker? You don’t know if he will help or hinder your efforts – the chances are 50/50 and everything depends on the flip of a coin!
• Legends PvP: Harvey Dent/Two-Face will be added as a playable character in Legends “Play as Iconic” Player vs Player mode.
• New Attacks: Call in your own mob of goons to keep your opponent occupied as you unleash a suppressive bullet spray, oil drum trap or grenade launcher.
• Flip-of-the-Coin Abilities: Switch powers based on which side the coin lands: the Two-Face side deals more damage and DoT attacks and the Harvey Dent side gives more control, knockdowns and stuns.

SEASONAL CONTENT

• Mister Mxyzptlk: Experience Metropolis transformed by the presence of Mister Mxyzptlk and his fellow 5th dimensional supervillain tricksters.
• Multi Player Race: Players can assume the guise of a 5th Dimensional Denizen and play tricks on fellow races over the skies of Metropolis.
• New Gold Collections: New encounters with 5th Dimensional Denizens dressed as Leprechauns guarding a Pot Of Gold that players will need to find and collect coins from while the leprechauns try to stop them in various amusing ways.

ADDITIONAL UPDATES

• Batcave 3 Raid: Level 30 players are brought face-to-face with The Dark Knight himself. Unfortunately, he’s been infected with a virus and has teamed up with the all-powerful Brainiac’s Avatar of Technology.

This update will go live in DC Universe Online today, so flip a coin and let us know are you more Harvey Dent or Two-Face inside DCUO?

As you know from my post on 8th February, to show our appreciation for the early players in DC Universe Online, we’re offering you the chance to lock in a promotional rate of only €24.99 for the 90-day DC Universe Online subscription. That is over 25% OFF the regular 90-day subscription plan price of €34.99. You’ll be able to keep that rate for as long as you are actively subscribed and watch the savings pile up.

This offer went live on Feb 8, 2011 and has now been extended. It will now expire at 23.59 (GMT) March 15th, 2011. If you purchase your subscription during the offer period, you can keep that pricing for the duration of your subscription.

Below are the prices in local currencies:

Already Subscribed?

Good news: If you have already subscribed to a 90-day subscription, and it is due to renew between midday (GMT) on February 8th and 23.59 (GMT) on March 15th, you will automatically be charged Legend Plan pricing of €24.99 when your next payment is taken! Just make sure that you have enough funds in your wallet or that auto-top up is set to on and your credit card details are registered to ensure your payment is successful. To check the renewal date of your existing 90-day subscription, sign in to PSN and go to Account Management, Transaction Management, Services List and select DC Universe Online Subscription. If your 90-day subscription does not expire during the offer period, don’t worry you can upgrade as described below.

How to upgrade your subscription:

If you redeemed the 30-day subscription voucher that came in your DCUO disc box you are already subscribed to the 30-day subscription plan, which will renew automatically soon. To take advantage of this 90-day subscription offer you will need to upgrade to the 90-day plan. You can do that by following these instructions:

1. Go to the PlayStation Store and look up DC Universe Online.
2. The subscription is available in 30, 90 and 180 day periods. If you purchase the 90-day one between midday (GMT) on February 8th and 23.59 (GMT) on March 15th, you’ll get the special offer pricing. (But the 180-day subscription offers great value too – check out which is best for you.)
3. When you purchase your new DCUO subscription, you will be charged immediately but your existing subscription will continue until the end of its current period and then lapse. Your new subscription will take over and will renew in accordance with the Terms of Service and User Agreement.

If you have any other DCUO subscription and would like to change to the 90-day subscription to benefit from the promotional pricing you can do that too. Just follow the same instructions as to upgrade, detailed above.

Terms and Conditions

Special offer price now €24.99, usually €34.99. Offer opened midday (GMT) on February 8th 2011 and ends 23.59 (GMT) on 15th March 2011. If you purchase a 90-day subscription during the offer period, you’ll pay a special offer price of €24.99 per 90 days for the duration of that subscription. If you already have a subscription, you will be charged on purchase but your new subscription will start to run from the end of the current subscription and will renew automatically at the end of the subscription period in accordance with the Terms of Service/User Agreement. Renewals will be charged at €24.99 per 90-day subscription but, if you cancel the subscription or it terminates for any reason, purchases after 15th March 2011 will be at the usual recurring price of €34.99 per 90-day subscription.
