Another day, another game being ported to the Nintendo Switch. If you were hoping for a port of the superhero MMO DC Universe Online, first released in 2011, you're in luck. Daybreak Games has announced today that the free-to-play MMO superhero game is coming this summer to the Nintendo Switch. The last console port of the game was on Xbox One in 2016, as we reported.

DC Universe Online was developed with the artistic vision of legendary comic book artist Jim Lee, and set within a world created by famous DC writers including Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman. Players and fans are able to enter the DC Universe as an active force for good or evil. It's a a massively multiplayer experience, delivering high-energy, physics-powered combat as players' own abilities are combined with the characters' abilities in a compelling and powerful action experience.
