In the shadowy streets of Gotham City, love is making a powerful comeback. The Star Sapphires have descended upon the Dark Knight’s domain from February 10th through February 23rd, 2026, on a mission to reignite fading hearts across the city. But not everyone’s on board with their violet-hued romance—enter Mister Freeze, who’s willing to risk it all by fusing powerful Zamaron crystals with his cryogenic tech to save his beloved Nora. Heroes and Villains alike must pick a side in this heart-pounding clash, or Gotham (and love itself) could be lost forever.
This annual Valentine’s Day seasonal event in DC Universe Online (DCUO) blends high-stakes storytelling with rewarding gameplay, introducing a brand-new open-world mission hub in Gotham for 2026. Whether you’re a heroic do-gooder aligning with Hal Jordan or a villainous schemer siding with Freeze, there’s plenty of action, feats, and loot to claim before the crystals shatter everything.
Players dive into this narrative through faction-specific storylines—Heroes support the Sapphires’ “A Glowing Love,” while Villains back Freeze’s “Cold Cold Heart.” The choice matters: Help save Nora, or protect Gotham from romantic Armageddon?
Jumping in is simple:
- Open your Menu > Events tab > Valentine’s Day category to access the event UI, which guides you straight to the new Gotham City seasonal hub or the House of Legends.
- Speak to Hal Jordan (Heroes) or Mister Freeze (Villains) for your daily mission givers.
- Tackle daily and weekly Valentine’s missions in the open world, plus bonus progress from activities like Love’s Battlefield and Get Your Heart Racing (a daily race).
Buyout option available until March 23rd using Marketplace Currency (Members get 10% off, and progress lowers the cost). No level requirement beyond the standard for events (typically 10+).
Progress by grinding dailies and weeklies in the Gotham hub. Track everything via your Mission Journal. New feats for 2026 include:
