DC: Dark Legion Celebrates First Anniversary with New Dark Nights: Death Metal-Inspired Storyline

Limited-time anniversary events, including new characters, monsters, and bigger rewards

FunPlus, one of the world’s largest independent game companies, is celebrating the one year anniversary of DC: Dark Legion, with a major in-game event inspired by the iconic Dark Nights: Death Metal storyline, available from  b

In its first year, DC: Dark Legion celebrated millions of players joining the game. Moreover, it was named the Mobile Game of the Year and Mobile Game Adaptation of the Year at the 2025 GamingonPhone Awards, as well as the Best IP-Based Mobile Game title at the Sensor Tower APAC Awards 2025.

First Anniversary – Limited-time anniversary events!

The anniversary update introduces Batman Death Metal, who arrives from a fractured timeline to warn Wonder Woman Death Metal and the Justice League of an imminent multiversal threat. Although he was believed lost, his return confirms that Wonder Woman’s defeat of The Batman Who Laughs restored their timeline, but not without consequences.

Now, the Batman Who Laughs is attempting to manipulate this earlier timeline to prevent his downfall. By conquering this universe, he aims to re-enter his own timeline at a critical point and rewrite his fate. Consequently, an invasion force led by The Merciless is expected to arrive within days, setting the stage for a high-stakes, three-phase anniversary event.

Phase 1 – Planning Committee:

• Players can collect types of materials through daily activities. Once they gather all types, they can submit any three types of materials to collect rewards and earn milestone points that will allow them to save resources during this phase. Furthermore, they can also trade extra materials with other players to get the ones they are missing.

Phase 2 – Battlefront Gotham:

• Players consume Batarangs to attack monsters and deal damage. Each hit gives a small reward, and defeating a monster grants bigger rewards. After killing five normal monsters, the next one becomes an elite monster, granting better rewards when defeated. Batarangs can be earned for free through daily activities or purchased.

Phase 3 – Carnival of Heroes:

• During this phase, players choose one of nine musical notes (or harmonic frequencies) to be their “key note,” after which the grid is randomly filled with other notes. Each chord generates a new note, extending the round. When there are no notes or chords left to generate new notes, the round ends. Rewards are given based on how many items were collected. The notes are automatically collected as follows:
  •  Matching: Two of the same note generate a chord.
  • Connecting: Three of the same notes in a row—horizontal, vertical, or diagonal—generate three chords.
  • Lucky Note: Lucky Notes generate a chord
