Batman: Arkham Origins producer talks Initiation DLC, I Am the Night mode
Batman: Arkham Origins producer Guillaume Voghel has shared a bit more about the game’s Initiation DLC.
Late last week, Warner Bros. shared details regarding Origins’s season pass, including one of the first tidbits about the new content. Initiation allows players to play as Bruce Wayne before he became Batman, “and face his final test to prove himself worthy to his greatest teacher, Kirigi.”
Voghel recently told Eurogamer of the DLC:
“You play as Bruce Wayne learning to be a ninja. That’s a really cool one. Narratively there’s some added content that will give players a little more background story.”
“[But] it’s not League of Assassins, it’s ninja-related. It’s when he learned to be a ninja and learned those techniques. He goes to a monastery – custom content was created for the DLC. You’ll be in Asia in the monastery. The team did a great job on that, it looks really good.”
Voghel also discussed Origins’ I Am the Night mode, which can be unlocked after beating the campaign and New Game Plus. To say the least, it’ll offer quite the challenge.
“The main narrative arc and side missions last about 12 hours,” he explained, “and then you have all the collectibles. To get 100 per cent of that will take much, much longer. We have a new difficulty level, New Game Plus is coming pack – that’s really difficult – and when you’re done with that there’s I Am The Night mode – which is no saves and one life.”
