14 DAY TRIAL // Most fans of the Batman series of video games might be focusing on the upcoming Arkham Knight video game, but it seems that before long, they will also be able to pick up a new version of the most recent title in the franchise, Arkham Origins.
A Complete Edition for the experience has been spotted on the German version of Amazon and can be pre-ordered at the moment for 39.95 Euro (53 dollars) on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 and for 29.95 Euro (41 dollars) for the PC.
The name implies that the coming version of Batman: Arkham Origins will include all the downloadable content that was launched for the title, which has more challenges, the change to battle Mister Freeze and a number of alternate costumes for all the core characters.
It’s unclear whether the Complete Edition will also carry the various platform exclusives and pre-order bonuses that were offered for the title.
So far, the team at publisher Warner Bros. has not commented on the Batman: Arkham Origins leak coming from Amazon and has not officially revealed any plans to put together a new version of the game.
The new Complete Edition follows a trend among publishers, who are rushing to put together game packages that include DLC and other addition content in order to extract more money from the public.
Batman: Arkham Origins was not developed by Rocksteady, who handled its duties over to a Warner Bros. studio in Montreal.
Many fans believe that the title is the weakest in the series so far because it was unable to expand on the core gameplay mechanics in any significant way and launched with a number of tech issues.
The plot focuses on a team of powerful villains who are hired to take Batman out and does offer some interesting challenges and boss fights.
At the moment, developer Rocksteady and publisher Warner Bros. are working on Batman: Arkham Knight, which will be launched on the PC, the PlayStation 4 from Sony and the Xbox One from Microsoft.
The game was supposed to arrive in the fall of this year and a rumor suggests that it will arrive on February 24, 2015.
The story of the title will deal with the Scarecrow, who once more tries to take control of Batman, and includes a new character, called the Batman Knight, who is able to use military grade forces to stop the protagonist.
The game will also integrate the Batmobile for the first time in the series.
