Batman Arkham Origins: All new Story DLC confirmed for 2014!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!


First off, it's OFFICIALLY 2014, so it's a brand new year with new hopes and dreams to pursue!


With that in mind, looks like fans of Batman and WB Games and DC Entertainment's epic Batman Arkham franchise are getting a treat sometime this year, as a NEW DLC story add-on is slated for release for the current Arkham prequel game, Batman: Arkham Origins!


More or less living up to their promise of giving an official announcement come New Year's Eve and New Year's Day itself, the official Batman Arkham Facebook page has teased that a "Humanitarian of the Year Awards" ceremony being held in Wayne Manor... And it looks like a certain "Cool Villain" will be crashing the party! If the ice doesn't tip you off, then you'd be wise to suspect that scientist Victor Fries will be crashing the party as his evil alter ego, Mr. Freeze! How will this fit into the scope of the Arkham Origins timeline? We'll find out soon enough as more announcements come as the year goes by!

Still, the chances of a brand new Arkham game being announced MAY happen somewhere down the line as well, and hopefully it'll bring Batman: The Animated Series voice actor Kevin Conroy back? We can only hope and pray that happens!

Batman: Arkham Origins is currently available for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC!

Batman: Arkham Origins: "Initiation" DLC Trailer debuts


Set to be released this week on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC, the brand new downloadable content for WB Games and DC Entertainment's epic prequel to the Batman Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Origins, has debuted online and shows Bruce Wayne ready for new challenges... Including an adventure from the past before he wore the cape and cowl and trained in the mountains. In a scenario that's likely inspired by Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins", this prequel to the prequel adventure is called "Initiation"

Batman: Arkham Origins: The Batcave revealed to be in the game


Looks like a familiar location in the Batman mythos will FINALLY be seen in the Batman Arkham games.

As people brace themselves for a new villain reveal and the inevitable release of the prequel Batman video game that is "Batman: Arkham Origins", Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Entertainment, and WB Games Montreal have released a couple of new screenshots for the game that reveal one major location that is home to Batman - The Batcave! Unlike the satellite Batcaves that appeared in the 2009 video game hit Batman: Arkham Asylum, this Batcave appears to be the real deal and the one and only located under stately Wayne Manor!


Also, the way it's shown above takes a cue and echoes a scene directly out of the Christopher Nolan's final Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises", in which Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne suits up and returns to the world, donning his familiar Cape and Cowl after a gantry containing the armor elevates up from a secret floor compartment.

Both scenes match up, and butler Alfred watches closely in both versions as his master suits up. For more screenshots, visit the source post at Superherohype.

Batman: Arkham Origins hits the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on October 25.

Batman: Arkham Origins: Kevin Conroy won't be returning to voice Batman


It's certainly not the best news to hear as April 2013 ends, and it's literally a game changer in every sense of the word.


Via word from Batman-News and Arkhamverse, a story from this month's issue of South African gaming magazine NAG reports that legendary Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy won't be returning to play the Caped Crusader in this year's upcoming Batman prequel game, Batman: Arkham Origins.



The new studio and developer of the game, WB Games Montreal, explains that they want to tap a younger voice actor for the role, since Arkham Origins focuses on a younger and more inexperienced Batman who has to evade and battle eight deadly assassins sent to kill him on Christmas Eve.

With Conroy last playing the role of Batman in this month's DC Universe brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us, it's truly sad news to hear. After all, he's the longest actor to play Batman, voicing the role for over 20 years since Batman: The Animated Series! It's certainly the biggest change after fellow DC Animated Universe alum Mark Hamill's retired from playing The Joker after Batman: Arkham City. With Rocksteady Studios not developing this game at all and Batman writer Paul Dini not writing the story, it all truly makes Arkham Origins a new game and experience in itself. For more information on the story, visit the source post at Batman-News, NAG, and Arkhamverse!

Batman: Arkham Origins hits PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on October 25th.
