So this what Arkham Asylum/Arkham city fans have been waiting for, news on the forthcoming title by Warner Montreal.
As we know this will be a prequel to the previous Arkham tittles and yes the game will be set in Gotham on Christmas Eve set way, way before the other Arkham games. This however isn't a batman origin Year One style story and as far as I know it isn't a story on how Arkham Asylum came to be. Batman in this game will meet certain characters for the very first time.
The basic premiss for the game is eight of the worlds deadliest assassins get sent (by whom I don't know) to Gotham with one mission, yes you guessed it kill the Batman.
The studio have said they will be adding never before seen features that weren't in the other Arkham titles. Maybe we get to drive the Batmobile round Gotham or maybe even the Batwing. Just the fact that it will be set in Gotham is very exiting. Not to mention the villains that will feature, I know Deathdstroke will be in the game, first image's below:
The game is due for an October release cancelling out rumours that this will be a next gen console release.
Just picture how stunning this could be, Gotham City covered in snow lit up with Christmas lights with a dark undertone brewing. I for one am a massive Batman fan and a huge fan of the previous games which in my opinion do the Batman and all that comes with it complete justice.
Let us know what you think of this news and what characters and possible ways this game could go in terms of story/plot.
Comment below, keep it clean and try to be positive,
Peace out bean sprouts.
