An Episode is additional playable content to the base game. Subsequent episodes have increasing requirements in terms of the combat rating of the player character, and are arranged by tier.
Starting from Earth 3, upon release of an episode, all players with a minimum level (no CR requirement) can access an easier event version of its content, until the release of the next episode. While within, their CR is boosted to the minimum of the episode.
Since House of Legends (Episode), all episode content no longer has a CR cap regarding rewarding Source Marks, and all episodes are made permanently free to play as long as the minimum CR is reached.
While the story of episodes usually expands from the base game, the events that happen in episodes do not affect the base game (which can be considered to be taking place before all episodes). Episodes themselves form a continuity according to their chronological order of release.

Future[]
Upcoming story content packs are to be rebranded as "Chapters", with Chapter 1, "Day of Reckoning" (first of a 4-part arc, "Light and Rain") launching on 28 January 2025. Chapter 2 is expected to launce in 2nd quarter of 2025, Chapter 3 in 3rd quarter, and Chapter 4 in 1st quarter of 2026.
Notes[]
- Game Update 151 changed Event difficulty to Story Mode difficulty (level 20+). All episode content that previously had an event version (episodes starting from Earth 3) now has a Story difficulty version. Open world parts of all episodes are now available from level 20+.
- The Day of Reckoning update renamed Story difficulty to Casual.
- While The Death of Superman does not count towards the episode number, its feats are located in the "Episode" category, meaning the game does classify it as one.
- Additional content to the game was originally labeled DLC packs and could contain new powers, upgrades and Legends characters besides new playable content. On March 31st, 2015, Episode playable content was separated from powers, upgrades and Legends characters that were previously included in similarly named DLC packs. DLC packs or episode content were included in an active membership or could be bought as single items in the marketplace, until June 2021 when all episodes became free to play.
- Halls of Power Part II was the last quarterly episode, until Amazon Fury Part III, starting a new cycle of large episodes.
- Episodes 15 - 26 were released on a monthly basis containing: one piece of content for large groups (raid, operation or alert) with the other piece of content for small groups (solo challenge or duo).
- Previously, there were periods called Open Episodes during which most or all episodes were free to play with some limitations. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, episodes went free-to-play. On June 16th, 2021, this became permanent and episodes were removed from the marketplace.
- Free players can purchase fixed-level Iconic Battle Suits (e.g. War-Metal) from respective vendors, or episode iconic styles from Vending Unit 00 (e.g. Shepherd of Adara) with Source Marks.
- They could also receive Catalyst (Augments) drops, obtain Adaptive Augments and level them up, unlike in the event version.
- Almost all On Duty instances that are pre-episodes or from the first 4 episodes (and still frequently in later episodes) are named directly after the location used in the instance. This has led to the location and the On Duty instances often being confused or referred to interchangeably, even though as the game expanded many instances now have multiple locations and often reuse old locations.
