The War of the Light has begun!

Strange colored mists are affecting civilians in Metropolis, and the Lantern Corps have been drawn to the city to investigate. Mogo and Ranx have appeared in the skies over Metropolis, already at war, and the fighting is pouring out into the streets in Downtown Metropolis Battlezone. The Green Lantern Corps and Sinestro Corps have been joined by the Blue Lantern Corps and Red Lantern Corps, and Heroes and Villains alike have been swept up in the conflict. New Bounties and Side Missions are available to players in their respective Command Centers.

New Shared Area - Command Centers!

Travel off-world to Mogo’s Command Center (Hero) or Ranx’s Command Center (Villain) to accept new weekly Side Missions and a new Bounty/Wanted Mission. Players can travel to their Command Center by using the teleporter located in their HQ.

New 4 Player Operations

Mist Recovery

Hal Jordan or Sinestro are recruiting players for assistance investigating areas around Metropolis that are flooded with colored mists. The mists are mysteriously affecting citizens and scientists in the area, and members of the Corps are already engaged in an all out war. It will be up to you to make sense of this chaos.

Strike Team

Heroes must aid Hal Jordan in assaulting Ranx, and Villains must aid Sinestro in assaulting Mogo. The fighting is expected to be intense, and both warn recruits to be ready for anything.
