From the depths of sorrow, a spark of hope ignites. In Chapter Four of Light and Rain: Hope Burns Bright, the Gray energy wave continues to spread across the stars, threatening to extinguish all life. Mogo, once mournful, now stands on the brink of becoming something far worse, frozen, shattered, and lost forever. Luzia Cavalera’s sorrow has reached a critical point, and unless she is reached in time, the living planet will not survive.
Stand with the Lantern Corps as hope and will clash against rage and despair. The future of Mogo and the emotional spectrum itself depends on you.
New Open World & Missions – Frozen Mogo
The living planet has been overtaken by encroaching Gray energy, locking vast regions of Mogo in a state of frozen despair. Heroes and Villains arrive at Frozen Mogo to evacuate survivors, provide aid, and push back the manifestations of sorrow before it’s too late.
Players level 20 and above can explore Frozen Mogo through a series of story-driven missions, beginning with desperate rescue efforts and building toward a full-scale counter-attack fueled by hope and will. Once the narrative path is complete, daily and weekly open-world missions unlock, offering ongoing challenges and rewards as the fight for Mogo’s survival continues.
New Raid, Alert, and Solo: Lantern Orphanage and Summit of Sorrow
Hope is fragile, and nowhere is that clearer than within the Lantern Orphanage, now under siege by sorrow-fueled forces. What was once a sanctuary has become a battleground, where the emotional spectrum itself is tested.
Raid: HBB Lantern Orphanage: Face overwhelming forces as you protect what remains of the Corps’ future. Multiple difficulty options allow all players to experience the story, with Elite challenges pushing coordination and skill to the limit.
Alert: HBB Lantern Orphanage Alert: A condensed experience that preserves the chapter’s key story beats, designed for smaller strike teams.
- SoloHBB Summit of Sorrow: Ascend into the heart of Luzia’s despair in this story-focused solo mission, available in Story, Normal, Casual, and Elite versions. Confront sorrow head-on and prove that hope still burns bright.
