Warner Bros. announced Batman Arkham Origins, an upcoming action-adventure video game currently in development by Warner Bros. Games Montreal.
It is a prequel to Rocksteady Studios’ award-winning Batman video games, set years before events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City.
“WB Montreal has full access to Rocksteady’s custom modified Unreal engine to capture the look and feel of the Arkhamverse.”
Eric Holmes, lead designer of the well-received Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Prototype, is the creative director for Batman Arkham Origins.
The first handheld Batman Arkham game for 3DS and PS Vita owners titled “Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate”, a completely separate title which takes place after the events of Arkham Origins. The game is in development at Armature Studio, and promises to be a 2.5-D Metroid-style action game.
Batman: Arkham Origins will releases on October 25, 2013 for Wii U, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
