DC Universe Online studio are making a Marvel MMORPG

An MMORPG set in the magical world of Marvel's wizards is apparently in development at the studio behind DC Universe Online. That news comes from a new financial presentation from Enad Global 7, the parent company of folks include DCUO devs Dimensional Ink Games and DCUO publishers Daybreak. What actually is the Marvel MMO? A secret, for now. But I wouldn't feel wrong making some assumptions.

DC Universe Online MMO's next-gen update may have been delayed to 2023

Daybreak and Dimensional Ink's DC Universe Online launched in January 2011, meaning the big DC Comics MMO is nearly 11 years old and is looking a bit outdated at this point. It has a visual upgrade in the works but unfortunately, the DC Universe Online next-gen update seems to have been delayed - all the way to 2023, in fact.


Last year, in the 2020 investor presentation for Enad Global 7 - the holding company that owns Daybreak - it was confirmed that both DC Universe Online and the other venerable MMO Daybreak runs, Lord of the Rings Online, would be receiving "visual and technical updates" for both "PC and next-gen consoles".


For DC Universe Online, this "revamp" was actually scheduled to arrive in Q4 2021 - which is just about now. However, according to Enad Global 7's recently released 2021 presentation, the big visual upgrade has been significantly delayed - and it seems like players won't be seeing the update until at least 2023, over a year late.

DC Universe Online devs are making a Marvel MMO

The studio behind DC Universe Online is swapping comic book multiverses to create a triple-A Marvel MMO for its next project, and it's being headed by City of Heroes lead designer Jack Emmert - who has been trying to get a Marvel Universe Online game going since at least 2006.


DC Universe Online - the DC Comics MMO by Dimensional Ink Games and Daybreak Game Company - will be 11 years old in January, so it's perhaps not a surprise that these studios are looking ahead to their next game. While DC Universe Online will continue to be supported, Dimensional Ink Games has started work on its next unannounced project - which we now know to be a Marvel MMO.


The Q3 2021 investor presentation for Enad Global 7 - the holding company that owns Daybreak - reveals that the unannounced massively multiplayer online game at Dimensional Ink will be "Marvel IP based" and "triple-A", and will be led by City of Heroes designer Jack Emmert, who is also currently heading up DC Universe Online.

New Episode: House of Legends

[h2]New Episode: House of Legends[/h2]

Answer The Monitor's call and travel to his House of Legends, a new shared hero and villain hub at the center of all worlds.

A vast threat approaches, and you - with your allies - will need to be stronger than you are now to face it. To get stronger, everything must change.

House of Legends features this new shared hub, an updated On Duty menu with Quick Play missions, Omnibus scaling content with full rewards and with no loot locks, Save the Universe up-leveled classic content, the Allies system, new rewards, access level upgrades, Doctor Fate's Daily Rewards, and more.

For a limited time, the standard (not up-leveled) versions of Save the Universe content are also available with increased rewards. Look for both in your On Duty menu. 

This episode and all episodes are free for all players.





New Hub: The House of Legends
The Monitor calls all heroes and villains to his House of Legends to train, coordinate, and prepare for a looming multiversal threat. The House of Legends sits in The Bleed, a plane in between universes, where Tempus Fuginaut, Harbinger, and others from numerous universes watch over the multiverse.

Look for a wide array of useful and practical tools throughout the House of Legends, including the Orrery of Worlds to teleport you across dimensions, the Training Hall for peacefully practicing your combat skills, the Archives, and more. 
  • The House of Legends is a new hub or headquarters shared by both factions, an alternative to the Watchtower and the Hall of Doom
  • Use the Orrery of Worlds teleporter to easily travel to all of the game's open world zones.
  • Visit style vendors for a one-stop-shop to finding episode gear styles from our past

  • Look for "Together Unbroken" in your Journal to get started exploring this new hub
New Content: Save the Universe Part One - Superman Classics
Mend time itself with Rip Hunter and travel back (or is it forward?) in time to play up-leveled and updated classic adventures!
  • Choose between event (the original), regular, and elite versions of each Save the Universe instance
  • Use the On Duty menu to queue up for The Science Spire (duo), Phantom Zone (alert), and Power Core (raid) under the Save the Universe category
  • Look for "Call to Save the Universe" in your Journal, then visit Rip Hunter in the House of Legends to get started
  • Make sure you pick up your daily and weekly missions "Perpetual Preparation" and "Save the Universe"
  • Stay tuned for Batman Classics and Wonder Woman Classics coming in parts two and three of Save the Universe later this fall
New System: Allies
Summon powerful and iconic DC Super-Heroes and Supervillains as your Allies in battle!
  • Collect and unlock Allies including Tier 1 Oracle-Bot, Calc-Bot, House of Legends Bot, and Tier 2 Professor Zoom, The Flash, and Cyborg 
  • Tier 3 Allies Queen Diana, Flashpoint Batman, and Emperor Aquaman will launch at a later date
  • Collect Ally Favor to rank up your relationships with your Allies
  • Open the new Allies UI from your PDA to rank up and then equip active and passive Allies
  • Look for "Call for Allies" in your Journal and visit Cyborg to get started
Updated UI: On Duty and Quick Play
Use an updated On Duty menu to queue and play faster than ever before. Easily select your preferences for type of content and jump right in.
  • Quick Play will queue for for every eligible instance based on your selections and randomly place you into the next available
  • Choose from Latest Episodes, Save the Universe, Omnibus, Seasonals, or Custom Play (the old On Duty menu)
  • Earn extra rewards by completing automatically granted daily and weekly Quick Play Omnibus missions  
New System: Omnibus 
Get into DCUO in a whole new way with the Omnibus system. Play any content your character is eligible for, prior to our latest three episodes, for full rewards and without loot locks. Player stats will be scaled to appropriate levels for all Omnibus content.
  • Omnibus Combat Rating requirements have been reorganized into tiers for simplicity and each tier will unlock in full at once
  • Player stats will scale to about ten levels higher than NPCs in whichever instance
  • Stats from Skill Points, Artifacts, Augments, Leagues, Generator Mods, and certain Movement Mode, Iconic, and Allies abilities will scale proportionally afterwards, which means increasing these will always add power to your character (even in Omnibus content)
  • Missions in the Mission Journal have had their Combat Ratings/Levels updated to correspond to the new Tiers
New Rewards
  • Earn new feats, gear, and styles inspired by Tempus Fuginaut and The Monitor.
Doctor Fate's Daily Rewards
Get ready for an all-new, easy system to claim your daily rewards. This system replaces the vault and the stabilizer duo, adds many new rewards each day, and introduces new currencies for the new daily rewards store - run by Doctor Fate!
