Warner Bros. on lack of Batman: Arkham Origins multiplayer for Wii U

Batman: Arkham Origins won’t have online multiplayer on Wii U, making it the only system missing out on the new feature.

As for why this is so, Warner Bros. explained in a statement that the team “is focusing development efforts on platforms with the largest MP audience.” The publisher must have felt that it wasn’t worth pouring in resources into the Wii U due to the possibility of a lack of players.

A Warner Bros. representative told us:

“MP will be available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The team is focusing development efforts on platforms with the largest MP audience.”
