Batman Arkham Origins is coming to iOS and Android

However, don't expect the same open-world adventure you'll find on consoles. This is a new action game from NetherRealm Studios, developer of Batman: Arkham City Lockdown.

Unlike Blackgate on 3DS and Vita, Origins for mobile does not add to the Arkhamverse canon. Instead, it takes the same premise of the console game and translates it for a mobile-specific experience. Like in the main game, Black Mask has tasked a number of assassins to take down a younger, less experienced Batman. It's up to the Dark Knight to patrol the city, fight baddies, and get rid of the bounty on his head.

When players start the game, they'll have to select a loadout for Batman. There will be quite a number of suits to choose from, each with their own stats. Players will also be able to customize Batman through an XP system that increases his health, defense, offense, etc. He'll also be able to upgrade and select various power-ups.

Once Batman is customized, you'll jump into a heatmap of Gotham. The city is split into four sectors, each with varying levels of crime. Once you go deeper, you'll see random crimes-in-progress, each with different mission parameters and difficulty levels. For example, a 3-star mission may have thugs with added defense. A 5-star mission will likely have you going head-to-head with an assassin.
