Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate Could Be Making The Leap To Consoles And PC

Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate, the Arkham Origins spinoff that hit 3DS and Playstation Vita late last year, is apparently arriving on other platforms imminently.

The Xbox Games Store provided a new listing for a Blackgate Deluxe Edition, confirming that a version is indeed arriving for the 360’s Xbox Live Arcade, although there’s no official word yet on whether it will also land on PC and Playstation 3…



Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate was originally developed by Armature Studios, an outfit composed of ex-members of Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios. The listing describes Blackgate - Deluxe edition as “amplifying the 2.5-D game” with a bunch of new maps, difficulty settings, enemy encounters, more batsuits and, crucially, enhanced visuals.

Designed as a companion game to Warner Bros Montreal’s Batman: Arkham Origins, Blackgate continues the storyline seen in the PC and console version, giving players a greater insight into Batman’s history and erm... origins. Blending the classic 3D Batman gameplay with 2D movement, Blackgate features the free-flowing combat and stealth gameplay that is a staple of the series. The listing says that it will feature “Batman's famed arsenal of gadgets, the genuine Arkham experience is reproduced in a deep, action packed side-scrolling adventure.”
