Warner Bros. announced a season pass for Batman: Arkham Origins last week. But apparently, fans haven’t responded favorably to the product. The displeasure stems from the fact that Warner Bros. isn’t offering brand new content or levels, and is instead opting for more cosmetic-oriented additions.
Producer Guillaume Voghel has since responded to the backlash. Speaking with IGN, he said:
“The costume DLC is going to be available with the Season Pass and it’s basically a bonus right? There’s going to be a lot of value in that Season Pass. One of the items we can’t talk about yet…we’ll just wait for the gamers to really see what the entire package contains. It’s going to be a big deal.”
IGN also asked Voghel about potential interest in a Superman vs. He wouldn’t give a clear cut answer, instead opting to discuss the importance of keeping the Arkham games separate from the movies.
“The Arkham brand is really independent from the movies and that’s something I think is at the core of its success; Rocksteady did that really well. They isolated the game from the movies and the Arkham brand will keep going in that direction if there are other entries down the line. It’s really something independent; it’s in a world of its own and it’s a franchise we want to focus on only through video games. DC studios has a lot to say in how we develop the Arkham franchise and they have great input. It’s always going to be a collaboration between Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and DC, but we really want to keep it independent from the movies.”
