Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate developers, Armature Studio, will be releasing a non-Batman themed game this Christmas, according to a recent tweet.

The game will be for the PS Vita, is called Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, and will be released on Nov. 12. It is a portable version of the PS3 game.

Their tweet from @ArmatureStudio read, "Injustice for PS Vita, finally announced! http://bit.ly/GHJyiZ . It will be out next month, playable at NYCC this week!"

Their initial teaser tweet from a few days ago said, "Guess what? We have a non-Arkham game coming out this Christmas! Have a great weekend!"

Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate is a side scrolling smartphone game spinoff of the Batman Arkham franchise and serves as a side story.

The gaming company has also worked on Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for the PlayStation Vita, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy.

As far as the major console game, Batman Arkham Origins, many fans were upset when the game's developers announced the arrival of an update called Season Pass, which would allow for more downloadable content for the game.

The main problem people had with Season Pass was that all the downloadable features seemed to be for "cosmetic" extras rather than game content and levels.

For $19.99, players would get the next five DLC packs, saving $10 in the process.

The games producer, Guillaume Voghel, spoke with IGN to set the record straight on the DLC's actual value to the game.

"The costume DLC is going to be available with the Season Pass and it's basically a bonus right?" he explained. "There's going to be a lot of value in that Season Pass. One of the items we can't talk about yet … we'll just wait for the gamers to really see what the entire package contains. It's going to be a big deal."

The aforementioned DLC packs include: Goth by Gaslight and Brightest Day Batman skins, a New Millennium Skins Pack, the Infinite Earths Skins Pack, an Initiation bundle where the gamer plays as Bruce Wayne before he was Batman, and an all-new story campaign, according to IGN.

The game comes to the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and PC on Oct. 25.
