Home Turf

    Looking to expand on bases in the future for PvE content

Origin Crisis

    May revisit difficulties, specifically one shots in Raids, Iconic Anomolies, and adjust.

Halls of Power

    It is not cancelled!
    League halls will no longer be part of the DLC. These will be free for everyone.
    Armories will no longer be part of the DLC. These will be free for everyone.
    Armories will be used for saving specs, loadouts, gear and style appearances.
    Additional armories will be available for purchase on the marketplace. It can be assumed these come with a limit of use.

Looking Forward
Sons of Trigon

    New Duos and Alert
        Duos x3, featuring Envy, Wrath and Lust (Gluttony, Sloth and Greed to be mini bosses)
        Cameos from Iconic heroes and villains (dynamic spawns)
    Gotham Wastelands Zone with new Solo missions
        Many Iconic locations (Amusement Mile, Gotham Cathedral, Forum of the Twelve Ceasers, Gotham Hospital mentioned) redone in the hellish landscape similar to Robinson Park.
        Updated Sin demons - retroactive into current content.
    New Legends PvP characters
        Donna Troy - uses Amazonian weaponry
        Cheetah (speedster) - more feral than Catwoman, lol
    Celestial Powers
        Not the same as Sorcery!
        Healer
        Similar principle to HL - power combos
        Power combos can cleanse or corrupt the next power in your combo for additional benefits (crossing trees)
        Good balance of burst and HoT
        Healing is based on damage output
        DPS favours Precision "a little more" but does have Might options
        Many live streams to come in the coming weeks.
        Heroes inspired by is The Spectre
        Villains inspired by is Eclipso
    4 new styles
        New 52 Raven (yuck - my opinion)
        Brother Blood
        Exalted
        Demonic style (hopefully not called Demonic, lol)

Leaderboards

    League based
    PvP and PvE
    DC Comics feeling to it - statues with current character styles
    Various types of Statues can be placed around your League halls, containing different types of Leaderboards (Kills, Damage Output, combined stats like Deaths vs Rallys)
    Update every 30 days

Future DLC structure

    Alternating between large group and small group content (example Home Turf is small group, Origin Crisis is large group, Sons of Trigon is small group).
    Tier and Tier-steps are will be well thought through when implementing.
    New Tiers (at least the next one) will be implemented in a small group DLC, so that people can gear up for the next large group DLC.
    3 part story arcs for future DLC's - not necessarily in sequence

DLC9 - War of the Light part 1

    Introducing Saint Walker and the Blue Lanterns
    By the end of War of the Light part 3, they will have exhausted the Spectrum!
    New full version of Metropolis - dedicated to War of the Light DLC's
    Mogo comes into the battle
    No mention of a powerset (will be tank if there is one)

Amazon Fury part 1 (working title)

    New full version of Metropolis - dedicated to Amazon Fury DLC's
    Amazons declaring war on the mortal realm of men - Hippolyta has "gone a little off her rocker"
    Invisible jet's flying over the skies of Metropolis
    Creatures from Greek Mythology

Halls of Power (part 1? not mentioned)

    Darkseid/Apokolips and the New Gods/New Genesis
    Developing lairs and league halls for new content for both PvP and PvE
    Travelling to Apokolips and New Genesis
    Defend bases and halls from Apokolips and New Genesis

PS4 (mostly already known)

    Working hard to make launch window
    No PS+
    Much improved textures and environments
    No intentions of abandoning PS3 for a long time
    PS4 playing on PS3 server
    Transition from PS3 to PS4 will be seamless
