Remember the announcement trailer for the trailer for ? Well now we have the trailer that the other trailer announced! The trailer gives us a good look at the game but also announces that if you pre-order the game you’ll get Deathstroke as a playable character in the challenge mode for the game. Here’s a nibble about the game as well as about Deathstroke himself:
Deathstroke will come complete with his own unique weapons and special moves, and will be playable in all challenge maps in the game, as well as two additional challenge maps that will be included with the pack. The pack will also contain two alternate Deathstroke character skins.
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. 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.
The game will be hitting for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and PC. We’ll see a separate product entitled Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate for the Nintendo 3DS and Vita as well. Based on the incredible delivery of the last two titles, I’m 100% a lock for a preorder. We’ve got some screenshots and, of course, the aforementioned video for you below.
