- The new shared open area takes place in an alternate phase of Gotham City called Gotham Under Siege, which is overwhelmed by the divided Amazons and their powerful allies.

  Circe in new Solo Iconic Visions that let players relive crucial moments that led up to the Amazon civil war.
Amazon Queen Hippolyta also makes her debut in DC Universe Onlinewith this DLC pack.

STORYLINE: Enraged by Brainiac’s attack on Paradise Island, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, blames the mortal world for Brainiac’s crimes and plots a counterstrike against Gotham with her new ally, Circe. Her own daughter, Wonder Woman, has rallied an army of Amazons that will defend the people of Gotham City, and try to help their Queen see reason.JENS’ TAKE : “Wonder Woman and Circe have always had a dynamic relationship, and our players have experienced a bit of that with past content in DCUO. By introducing Wonder Woman’s mother, Hippolyta, to the mix, we are further fueling their tumultuous relationship, and I think players are going to thoroughly enjoy watching the Amazon Fury storyline unfold. – Jens Andersen, Senior Creative Director, DC Universe Online
