Batman: Arkham Origins is just round the corner and already there have been a number of rumors and speculations regarding how the new Batman will be different from its predecessors. Good news is this will be the “scariest” batman to have ever set foot in the videogame industry.
Ben Matthes, senior producer of the game, in an interview with Gamerhub, shared some details regarding the personality of Batman in the game, which tells the story of the Dark Knight’s rise to prominence.
“We like to say it’s an early career Batman story. It takes place in about year two of his career. So he has been Batman for a couple of years. He knows how to fight, he has some gadgets. He has got a basic understanding of what it takes to be the masked vigilante he is but he has not really faced any true challenges yet,” Matthes stated.
“The challenges the assassins, the thugs and all of the rogue members who come up out of this woodwork and advance towards their nefarious goals. The challenges that all of that puts on Batman is unlike anything he has faced before. This forces him to change, to evolve and become something greater than he was at the onset of the game,” he added.
Matthes also reassured that Bats, this time around, will be anything but naive, and this will be enough to give the bad guys a serious nightmare.
“We are going for a Batman, whom people are scared of. The cops don’t know if he is real or not. The villains who have encountered him wished that they have never encountered and are scared to talk about him. We play that via our narrative. We play that via the voice over obviously and let the people interact and react with his presence,” he concluded.
Batman: Arkham Origins is currently set for an Oct. 25 release on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U.
