"Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate" for the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS has also been released and has the suggested retail price $39.99. Also available in limited quantities is the "Batman: Arkham Origins Collector’s Edition" for PS3 and Xbox 360, priced at $119.99 SRP. Developed by WB Games Montréal, "Batman: Arkham Origins" features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events of "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Batman: Arkham City," the first two critically acclaimed games of the franchise. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, players will meet many important characters for the first time and forge key relationships.
"Batman: Arkham Origins" features a pivotal tale set on Christmas Eve where Batman is hunted by eight of the deadliest assassins from the DC Comics Universe. Along the way, players will experience a fresh take on iconic Batman characters, including The Joker, Black Mask, Penguin, Deathstroke, Bane, Deadshot, Copperhead and others yet to be revealed.
Also new to the franchise is the online multiplayer mode, which is developed by Splash Damage. Friends and foes can play online in 3v3v2 gameplay that blends traditional Arkham gameplay with third-person shooter mechanics. Gamers can hunt as Batman or Robin against the most challenging opponents yet – friends and other online gamers – or take a walk on the dark side as a Super-Villain Elite and be part of The Joker or Bane’s gang. Those playing as a Super-Villain Elite will also have a chance to seize control of either The Joker or Bane for a limited amount of time.
