Sony Online Entertainment released a video yesterday showcasing Area 51, the first Alert players will encounter in DC Universe Online. Today SOE has decided to shine the spotlight on the Gorilla Island Alert, which will allow players to team up in an instance and take on hyper-evolved gorillas. Check out the video after the jump for more Gorilla Island details from Game Director Chris Cao!

In addition, SOE unveiled new screenshots of Harley Quinn today. While we knew that the Joker's sidekick and girlfriend would be in the game, we're always happy to look at new images. You can view them in our gallery.

DC Universe Online is scheduled to launch on Jan. 11, 2011. For more information on how SOE is preparing for the release, check out our interview with Cao.
