Amidst the chaos, Roman “Black Mask” Sionis has called a bounty on the Bat’s head. Everyone hates him the criminals he has a hand in putting behind bars as well as the police who don’t want someone else doing their job for them. Here goes the plot: despite it being just a couple of years after donning the cowl, the Bat Man is still a mystery to most of the denizens of Gotham City. It is an origin story for the events that take place in Asylum and City.īatman's pretty raw and unrefined in Origins Not, as the name might imply, an Origin story for the Caped Crusader, mind you.
What has changed, however, is that Origins is a prequel. The game takes place during Christmas Eve, which gives us a hand-wave excuse for why there aren’t more civilians around Gotham (Arkham City didn’t have many civilians because it was a walled-off area where prisoners were detained). Arkham Origins still runs on Unreal Engine, so we get the same beefy Batman we got back in Arkham City and Asylum. Hypothetically, all WB had to do was to copy-paste the gameplay from Arkham City and give it a new story. We took the game for a spin to see if the new studio was able to do justice to the franchise. However, after the massively successful Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, WB decided to take Rocksteady Studios off the franchise and opted to give the reins over to an in-house studio-WB Montreal-for Batman: Arkham Origins.
Warner Bros obviously wants to turn the Batman Arkham franchise into a regular series, much like Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed.
