New Cinematic Looks into DCUO's Fractured Future

Sony Online Entertainment and Blur Studio have released the second DC Universe Online cinematic trailer, and it's definitely worth watching. "Fractured Future" is the follow-up to the game's amazing opening cinematic movie. We recently talked with Game Director Chris Cao about DCUO's upcoming February update, and here's what he had to say about the new video:

“We had a great response from our in-game cinematic. The title was, 'Who Do You Trust?' The answer is going to be 'not Lex Luthor.' We won't get a Blur trailer every month, but it's a great opportunity to launch into the stuff we have for February.”

We highly suggest you take four minutes out of your day and watch the "Fractured Future" video after the jump.
