There’s plenty more exciting news on the latest instalment of the Batman: Arkham Origins game, from exclusive content to extra hard game modes

If you’ve been reading the games section in recent months, you’ll know that we’re big fans of the Batman: Arkham games, and devoted large parts of our lives to completing them 100%.

But enough about us, let’s talk about you and how much you’re going to love this game. This latest trailer gives us a look at the exclusive PS3 content, the Knightfall pack, which will give PlayStation owners some exclusive skins (including the iconic one form the Adam West TV show) and challenge maps. Judging from the video here, it doesn’t look like those in charge at WB have strayed too far from the beloved format that we all know and love from the previous games, and once again promises to be very addictive stuff.

There’s also the Deathstroke challenge pack, which will feature a fully playable Deathstroke character and the pretty class looking 100 to 1 mode too.

There’s going to be a whole heap of DLC for the game and you can get your hands on it for a knock down price of £15.99 (€19) at launch, rather than £28 (around €33). One of the DLC modes is Arkham Origins Initiation, where you can play as Bruce Wayne before he became Batman, and face his final test to prove himself worthy to his greatest teacher, Kirigi.

In even more news, there’s also going to be an extra difficult mode for all those adventurous gamers out there who want a serious challenge, the ‘I am the Night’ mode will give users only one life and no saves so you can’t go back to your last checkpoint when you die. That’s some intense stuff.

The comic book nerd and the gamer in this is already giddy with anticipation for this, we’ll have to find even more time in our gaming schedule to get through this.
