Following GTA V‘s return to the top of the UK Games Chart in the last two weeks, new comer Batman: Arkham Origins has knocked the game down to second place in this week’s Top 10. The new entry also pushed down other titles, including FIFA 14 down to third.
To celebrate the worldwide launch of Batman Arkham Origins Warner Bros. have released the launch trailer for the game, which you can view right here. Reid Schneider, Vice President and Executive Producer at WB Games Montréal also gave a few choice quotes about the game.
WB Games and Splash Damage have confirmed that Batman: Arkham Origins will be the first game in the Batman: Arkham series to feature a multiplayer mode. Called Invisible Predator Online, this new mode takes the concept of the earlier games’ Challenge Rooms and puts other players into the role of the Joker and Bane’s thugs.
WB Games have released a new CG trailer for upcoming Batman title, Arkham Origins. Coming out in October 2013, the trailer confirms that the game is coming to pretty much every current game platform, including the PS Vita. Pre-ordering the game for the PS3 will mean gamers get the Deathstroke DLC pack for free, too.
Gaming magazine Game Informer has revealed that Batman: Arkham Origins will be heading to the PS3 in October 2013. The game takes place years before the two previous Arkham titles “when a young, unrefined Batman encounters many supervillains for the first time”. A handheld spinoff, dubbed Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, will be coming to the PS Vita too, and will play like a “2.5D Metroid-style adventure”.
