After you digested the fact that a typically single player focused game series will have multiplayer, I will tell you now that it sounds pretty good actually.
Batman Arkham Origins Multiplayer mode is co-developed by Splash Damage (most recently BRINK) and will pin 3 player controlled Bane as well as 3 Joker thugs against each other to capture points all the while 2 players will also control Batman and Robin to intimidate the thugs.
This mode, called ‘Invisible Predator Online’ is a lot like the challenge rooms we have seen before except that all 8 characters are player controlled.
Check out the 3 v 3 v 2 multiplayer action in the trailer below.
