Arkham Origins Blackgate stands out as a distinctive 2.5D side-scrolling action-adventure game crafted by Armature Studio and brought to life by Warner Bros.

The game takes place after the events of Batman: Arkham Origins and features a unique storyline that follows Batman as he investigates a riot at Blackgate Prison.

In the game, players control Batman as he explores the famous Gotham Prison and encounters various iconic Batman villains, including the likes of Joker, Penguin, and Black Mask. The gameplay combines elements of exploration, stealth, and combat, allowing players to navigate the prison, solve puzzles, and engage in melee combat with enemies.

The game utilises a Metroidvania-style design, where players can backtrack and explore previously inaccessible areas as they acquire new gadgets and abilities. The main objective is to unravel the mystery behind the prison riot and bring order to Blackgate. Unfortunately the title won’t be arriving on the PS4 or Xbox One, just older-gen consoles.

Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate will fly it’s way to the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita handheld systems on 25th October this fall alongside the main full version game Batman Arkham Origins. Check out the video below and leave us your thoughts in the comments box.
