Batman: Arkham Origins Teaser released

Since its announcement last April, more details and information has been released for Warner Bros. Games' next installment in the Batman: Arkham franchise this year with "Batman: Arkham Origins". As a prequel to the Rocksteady Studios games Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City yet developed by new studio WB Games Montreal, the game is set during the early years of Batman's war against crime, having the younger and still inexperienced Caped Crusader duking it out against a wave of assassins bent on killing him on Christmas Eve.

Batman: Arkham Origins Revealed

Fans that have anxiously waited for a sequel to the stellar Batman videogames that are Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are in for quite the surprise, as the May issue of Game Informer has revealed the brand new game coming this fall and starring The Dark Knight once again... Batman: Arkham Origins.

Thanks to a report by Kotaku, and as teased and hinted through reports of domain registration featuring the title of the game and rumors that it will be set before the two Rocksteady Studios games, Batman: Arkham Origins is indeed a prequel, and will be the first game to be developed by a different studio, namely Warner Bros. Montreal. The cover to the game is also telling, featuring not only Batman returning (or appearing the first time in the game series' canon), but also a well know DC Universe villain and assassin... Deathstroke The Terminator!

UPDATE: Here's the trailer uploaded by Game Informer
