Arkham Origins: The Prequel

Batman: Arkham Origins Coming This Year! | Superhero Hype

Rumors began circulating last year that the next entry in the "Arkham" games would be an origin story and Game Informer has revealed that those rumors were in fact true. Titled Batman: Arkham Origins, the game will take place before the previous two games in the series and will detail Batman's first time meeting with several characters. One of the developers on the game described its plot as follows:

"Eight of the best assassins in the world have come to Gotham City for one night, Christmas Eve of all nights, to kill the Bat."

Though not confirmed, it would appear the game will take place in and around Gotham City in an open-world environment like the previous game, "Arkham City."

Fans will notice that the biggest difference between this and the previous "Arkham" games is that Rocksteady is not developing the title. Instead, Warner Bros. Games Montreal has been given the reigns of the franchise. Batman: Arkham Origins will be available for the Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on October 25, 2013.

They've also announced that the first handheld entry in the franchise will be available on the same day. Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate will launch for the 3DS and PS Vita and is a different experience that picks up after the events of Batman: Arkham Origins.

No Rocksteady, tho?

If it ain't broke don't fix it.. that's blasphemous to give a classic game like Arkham to someone else... at this point, they're just trying to cash in on the Arkham name.

F*ck a origin story, give me Arkham 3... I wanna see what's up with Hush, Scarecrow, Azrael, what happened to Ra's body and more aftermath of a dead Joker.

Could it be Rocksteady won't be involved in this because they're working on a next generation Batman game?

Either way, I'm excited for this. Gotham City during Christmas Eve!

Grand Theft Auto V in September, Arkham Origins in October.

Atleast they realize how great AA & AC were and not ignoring it or re-imagining it. it should be fine as long as the engine, physics and fighting style is the same, if these dudes got a good story, im in. Hopefully its a glorified DLC of AC that we should have been getting anyway. Who would be the 10 assassins though?

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Hulk ultimate destruction and Prototype were such excellent games this is sure to be a hit

I'll wait before I pass judgement.

Seems like deathstroke is the one being pushed so far
