Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment and Armature Studio have today announced the development of Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Deluxe Edition for release later this year. A home console port of last October's handheld sequel to Arkham Origins, this digital title will feature refined visuals, navigation systems, surround sound features and boss battles galore.
The only problem? It would be something of an understatement to say that Blackgate didn't go down a storm upon its original retail début. In fact, the PlayStation Vita version of the game holds a 61% average score at Metacritic, while the 3DS edition sits slightly higher with 68%. Neither of those averages are particularly woeful, yet as concerning as it may sound, such scores just aren't likely to cut it with the general gaming public these days. That Arkham Origins was an underwhelming finale to the first trilogy of Arkham experiences didn't help matters, either, although here's hoping that Rocksteady's recently rumoured new project turns out to be the sequel which the franchise sorely needs to redeem itself!
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Deluxe Edition retails via the Xbox Live (360), PlayStation Network (PS3), eShop (WiiU) and Steam (PC) marketplaces on April 2nd for £16.
