DC Universe Online's Beta Is Drawing To A Close.

For a week at least. The DC Universe Online beta is set to draw to a close ahead of the game's retail release next week. Of course, SOE's not going to let you off the hook without a bang. The developers revealed on the game's forums:

Wednesday January 5, 2011 will be the last day of the DC Universe™ Beta in the U.S. and Thursday will be the last day to fight to save or rule the universe in Europe (in beta that is!).

To celebrate – we plan to stage The Battle of the Legends in-game in the spirit of the DCUO cinematic, “Who do you trust?” Beta players can align and fight alongside or against some of DC Comics most notorious superheroes and villains including; Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor and The Joker. Together will we take on DC’s greatest icons as we embark on our own path to legendary! Show up to the battle when it erupts on your server! Check the schedule below and don’t miss your chance to become part of the “Battle of the Legends!”</blockquote>

Hopefully these mini-events will become common-place when DC Universe Online hits retail shelves. After all, this is supposedly the draw of the £9.99 monthly MMO fee, right?

Who's going to give DC Universe Online a shot? We're extremely tempted, but the time-sink does concern us.
