‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ Reportedly Offers Multiplayer


Batman: Arkham Origins may be offering multiplayer, according to sources.

The Dark Knight has seen some quite successful outings on the current generation consoles with the Batman: Arkham series, and now Injustice: Gods Among Us. Now under a new developer and headed by the man behind Prototype, Batman is getting the most immersive Gotham City we’ve seen yet.

Let’s just hope Batman isn’t going to face the inmates of Arkham Asylum as they all use the same drug that turned the Joker into that hulking whatever it was at the end of… well, Arkham Asylum. With all of Gotham City now available and multiple levels at that, there’s certainly room for a crowd of mutated super-inmates.

We also already know that Batman: Arkham Origins is going to have Batman facing off with a lot of villains for the first time, much like the “Silver Age” series in the comics. One villain we’ll be seeing for the first time in the series is Deathstroke, who seems to be the serious DC Comics version of Marvel’s Deadpool.

Gotham City will be decorated in Christmas Eve lights and such, giving the city a creepy combination of dark and gothic alongside cheerful. We can only hope that Batman: Arkham Origins will let us knock a plastic Santa off a skyscraper and watch it shrink as it falls to its doom below. We all get bored occasionally when we don’t want to finish the game just yet, so it would be a cool distraction.

New reports tell us that Batman: Arkham Origins will also feature multiplayer, allowing players to act out a fight between Batman, Robin, the Joker, and Bane. In that case, let’s hope we can make the Joker laugh or use bad jokes only when we want him to, or that fight could get annoying quickly.

Officially, Warner Bros. has declined to comment on the multiplayer element, so we’ll have to wait and see.

Are you excited to see a multiplayer mode in Batman: Arkham Origins?
