Report: Multiplayer-less Batman: Arkham Origins to cost $50 on Wii U

4.6
The Wii U version of Batman: Arkham Origins will be missing $10 from its price tag in addition to the absent multiplayer content planned for the 360, PS3 and PC versions of the game, Kotaku reports. Amazon's listing for the Wii U version is currently priced at $49.96.

Publisher Warner Bros. explained in July that the decision to skip multiplayer for the Wii U version was made to focus "on platforms with the largest MP audience." Arkham Origins' multiplayer mode is being handled by Brink developer Splash Damage and will consist of a three-team fight for territory between the Joker's henchmen, Bane's thugs and Batman and Robin.

The Joker and Bane gangs will be a three-piece effort, although a henchman can be swapped for a super villain if a player earns their way into Joker or Bane's shoes. Batman & Robin, however, will fight on as a gadget-wielding duo of justice.

Lavish Although I won't be buying this, I would if I had the Wii U.
Batman games are some of the only enjoyable games for me that aren't a shootem game or a sports game. Brings back old memories.


I've never been a fan of Batman. I'd never get it. I'm more into Call of Duty. But fair play to BatMan.

It's on the Wii U, I highly doubt it will get sales.

Brigand Not many people are going to even buy it.
Its too expensive for a game that won't even have multiplayer on it.


I don't see how a simple $50 is to much when most Xbox games cost a cool $70.
I think this game would be for people around the age of 12 anyway.

That is ridiculous, I don't know where to begin. First, why would they bother releasing the game for the Wii U, surely it wouldn't be greatly profitable. Second, why the hell would they not work on multiplayer for it. Sure, they want to focus more on the popular consoles, but surely they could have at least worked on a basic multiplayer for the Wii U. To only reduce the price by $10, that is foolish, in my opinion the game without multiplayer, on the Wii U would be worth $30.
