Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate 2.5D Metroidvania hitting 3DS, PS Vita
Warner Bros. has two new Batman games on the way, the first being a prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins, starring Deathstroke as the primary antagonist and coming to Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. No one cares about that, though, because it’s developed by WB Montreal instead of Rocksteady (original Batman: Arkham series studio), and it’s not the second title…
Which is a 3DS/PS Vita spin-off titled Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, a 2.5D Metroidvania-style game coming from Armature Studio, the development house formed by Retro/Metroid Prime veterans several years ago. Normally a portable spin-off Batman game wouldn’t excite me too much, but doesn’t the combination of all those words in the previous sentence just sound baller?
All we know about the latter game is it’s a “completely separate experience that takes place after the events of Arkham Origins,” according to Game Informer. The console and portable editions release on October 25.
