DCKO, the mobile fighting game with DC heroes and villains arrives in 2027

Drop Fake, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has made DCKO official, a free-to-play fighting game designed entirely for mobile devices, with launch expected on iOS and Android during 2027. The title focuses on a real-time player-versus-player combat system, with the aim of recreating the experience of a direct competitive clash between users on smartphones and tablets, supported by a global ranking.

At the center of the experience are the “DC Legends”: players will be able to assemble a team by selecting heroes and antagonists from the DC universe, customizing their equipment through interchangeable special moves and dedicated configurations. The initial roster includes, among others, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Lex Luthor and Doomsday, with a new character announced monthly. In addition to the competitive component, DCKO will also offer player-versus-environment modes, including dedicated narrative paths and Rift mode, along with additional content (new maps, stories and rewards) updated regularly.

From a gameplay point of view, the combo system is based on differentiated inputs: quick touches for light hits, swipe gestures for more powerful attacks, which can be combined with each other to optimize the damage inflicted. By accumulating the appropriate energy bar it will be possible to unleash moves capable of turning the tide of the battle.

The fight also includes grappling and counter-moving mechanics, to counter opponents who rely on a defensive strategy, as well as a character change system that allows you to recall your Legend on the bench to the field: the combined attacks between the two fighters, as well as the Tag Team Super Moves performed at the same time, represent some of the most spectacular moments offered by the title. Even the non-active character will have a tactical role, being able to intervene with support assists in the most delicate moments of the clash.
