Batman: Arkham Origins is the latest entry in the acclaimed Batman: Arkham video game series, developed by WB Games Montréal. This game features an expanded Gotham City and presents an original prequel storyline set several years before Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the first two critically acclaimed games in the franchise. Set prior to the rise of Gotham City’s most notorious criminals, the game portrays a young and inexperienced Batman facing a critical moment in his early career as a crime fighter, paving his way to becoming the Dark Knight.

Key Features:

The Arkham Story Begins: Set on Christmas Eve, Batman: Arkham Origins features a crucial narrative where Batman is targeted by eight of the deadliest assassins from the DC Comics Universe. Players step into the shoes of an early-career Batman as he encounters several characters who will shape his future.

Enhanced Detective Mode: Think like Batman with a new Case File system that allows players to analyze seemingly unsolvable crime reconstructions in real time. By combining Batman’s cowl sensors with the Batcomputer, players can digitally recreate crimes and examine detailed simulations of events as they unfolded.

Gotham City Will Learn to Fear Batman: Reclaim the expansive streets of Gotham before its transformation into Arkham City. Glide above or fight through new, increasingly dangerous districts in your pursuit of justice. Prevent ongoing crimes, dismantle gangs of violent new criminals, and explore perilous new locations, from impoverished streets to the luxurious penthouses of Gotham’s elite.

Gotham’s Most Wanted: The city is filled with more than just Black Mask’s assassins. Track down and eliminate Gotham’s most violent criminals to earn unique upgrades.

Lethal New Enemies: Face new adversaries such as the Armored Enforcer and the Martial Artist, each challenging players to adapt their approach to Batman’s FreeFlow Combat scenarios. Classic FreeFlow combat is enhanced with each new opponent, leveraging Batman’s abilities to engage them effectively.

New Gadgets: Employ Batman’s signature gadgets along with powerful new additions such as the Remote Claw and the Concussion Detonator. Use the Remote Claw to create new pathways by deploying strategic tightropes or directly attack foes by suspending them from vantage points. Prepare the Concussion Detonator to stun and disorient groups of enemies in close-quarters combat.

New and Familiar Characters: Experience a fresh perspective on iconic Batman characters, including Black Mask, Penguin, Deathstroke, Bane, Deadshot, Anarky, Captain Gordon, The Joker, Copperhead, Firefly, and others yet to be revealed.
