Decade-old MMO DC Universe Online is preparing its "darkest" story arc yet
2024 has been a tough year for new live service games. PlayStation's Concord and Ubisoft's XDefiant have shut down, and Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League didn't make nearly as big a splash as Warner Bros. hoped it would. Players aren't as interested in committing to a new 'forever game' as publishers think they are, especially with so many other live service games still going strong. MMOs like WoW, FF14, and RuneScape are still raking in a colossal amount of daily players, and it's getting increasingly harder to pull them away to try something new. Between the big hitters, though, plenty of other MMOs are doing well, and DC Universe Online appears to be one of them. The superhero game even has some big changes coming in 2025, so now might be the time to give it a try.
