Batman Arkham Origins Release Date: Warner Bros Montreal Show Final Trailer Before Oct. 25 Launch (VIDEO)
Batman: Arkham Origins will arrive be released worldwide on October 25 for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC, and developers, Warner Bros Montreal, released a final trailer last week.
"Batman: Arkham Origins lets players experience Batman's transformation from an unrefined vigilante into the Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne's journey to become a crime fighter and his steadfast morality began much earlier in his life, formed by tragedy, dedication, and honor. As you'll see in this latest trailer, his quest was anything but easy," the video description said.

Batman: Arkham Origins does not tell the typical Batman story, instead it bypasses the well know beginnings of the crime fighter and jumps to year two.
"So choosing Year Two was a very concerted effort on our part to take a point in time in Batman's career where, he's got some gadgets, his moves, more or less, are starting to become refined, he's got a cool suit, he's been doing it for long enough that he's got confidence, that you're in the skin of this empowering character, and yet we can run him through the gamut, we can put him through a pressure cooker unlike anything he's ever faced before because it's early enough in his career that he hasn't faced some of these defining challenges," said Ben Mattes, WB Montreal's Senior Producer to OXM.uk.
He said many of the material in the "Year One" story of Batman were not good scenarios for a gamer to play through. It was a lot of backstory and struggles to find out who Bruce Wayne was.
"...And we get to tell the story of the night, the series of events that forces him to evolve, to go beyond being just a vigilante who's obsessed with vengeance and stopping petty crime on the streets to the Dark Knight, the kind of guy who on any given night in Gotham may just as likely come across an assassin who's after his head for glory or money as he is a mugging of a little old lady," he continued.
Mattes did state some ideas from "Year One" were used, such as the relationship Batman has with the police and Captain James Gordon (not Commissioner yet). This will play an integral part to the forthcoming game.
A mobile version of the game was announced at ComicCon and it will be for the both Android and iOS.
They also said for gamers who own the console version of the game, the mobile will offer special features. If the two games are connected, the Red Son Batman suit will be unlocked.
NetherRealm Studios will be creating the game.
