Multiplayer Coming To ‘Batman: Arkham Origins’, Watch The First Trailer

Briefly: While it’s been rumoured since the game’s announcement, it only just became official: Batman: Arkham Origins will mark the series’ first multiplayer offering.

Created by Brink (uh-oh?) developer Splash Damage, the game’s multiplayer campaign is titled “Silent Predator”, and features some intriging 3 vs. 3 vs. 2 gameplay. Three players act as Joker’s thugs, three as Bane’s, and the other team consists of Batman and Robin (Tim Drake). The Joker and Bane teams will be playing the game as a third-person shooter, while Batman and Robin will be sneaking through the shadows trying to one-up their opponents. It sounds almost like a spiritual successor to Splinter Cell’s fantastic Spies vs. Mercs multiplayer mode.

Take a look at the first trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins multiplayer below, and let us know if you’re excited. The mode will be available on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3… so every platform except for Wii U.
