Story[]

- "Alright, mate? Look, I could use your help - there's a killer on the loose. I lost their trail in Gotham during that alien invasion rubbish, but I think they've relocated to Kaznia City. Meet me there at a nice little pub called the Laughing Hound. We've got work to do." — John Constantine

Trivia[]
- To access this content player characters must have completed either the mission Reap What You Sow (heroes) or Faustian Response (villains).
- Teasers to Day of Reckoning can be found in the last episode, Harley Quinn vs. Apokolips, in the form of The Exobyte Killer (Briefings).
- Story Blogs #1 to #3 serve as a prelude to Day of Reckoning.
- Unlike previous episodes, Day of Reckoning was not put on the Test Server prior to official release.
- Al Rivera, creative director for DC Universe™ Online wore a Blue Lantern ring and recited part of the oath at the end of the behind the scenes video. An in-game character with a blue ring is later shown at the launch trailer for the chapter, revealed to be Esperanza Cavalera on launch.
- A log-in pop-up appeared before the proper launch, erroneously claiming that it only has a Solo and a Raid prior to its launch. It also advertised a "Lost Sinner Time Capsule", when it is revealed to be the Mystical Magician Time Capsule on launch.
- Origin Augments are now maxed out at 412.
- Generic gear's maximum level is raised to 395, although there is a bug with weapon boxes where the max level is displayed as 390. However, upon opening them, the actual max level is also 395.
- Day of Reckoning's narrative is unusual in that the introductory mission series does not require queuing for instances, instead adapting an alert/raid for single player, followed by a more story-heavy version of the challenge instance. Said alert/raid (DoR: Kaznian Necropolis Assault and DoR: Kaznian Necropolis Onslaught) are also unusual as slightly different versions of the same instance.
- The Day of Reckoning update changed "Story" difficulty to "Casual". It is possibly due to Reckoning's Hideout and Kaznian Necropolis Strike being story-heavier versions of On Duty instances, and to avoid confusion.
