Batman: Arkham Origins producer talks Initiation DLC, I Am the Night mode
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
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.”
