Batman™: Arkham Origins

Set several years before Arkham Asylum, the campaign follows an early-career Batman on Christmas Eve, when assassins are hunting him across Gotham. He must face the threat while building his reputation as a crime fighter. Explore Gotham from the rooftops, glide between locations, and take on criminals through flowing melee combat or stealth. Batman’s gadgets help in fights and puzzles, while the Remote Claw can create new routes or leave enemies suspended from vantage points. Investigate crimes with a Case File system that lets you reconstruct events and examine evidence. The city also offers crimes in progress, side missions to pursue wanted criminals, and upgrades earned through those activities. The single-player campaign can be played offline.

On Christmas Eve, a young Batman fights assassins across Gotham, using stealth, gadgets, combat, and crime-scene investigations.
