The game features a newly expanded Gotham City, and the plot takes place before th rise of Gotham City's most dangerous villains and assassins, according to the game's official site. Players will take on the role of a young Batman as he faces defining moments in his early crime-fighting career.
"Arkham Orgins" will reportedly feature Black Mask's assassins, though not all of their appearances in the new installment have been unveiled.
For now, gamers will just have to wait and play to see which characters will pop up during gameplay. Until then, check out the new trailer below.
And for those of you unfamiliar with the "Batman" series, check out the official character descriptions of a few villains you will encounter below.
Black Mask:
"Gotham City business owner Roman Sionis is alleged to be one of the city's most powerful crime lords, though no convictions have ever been made. Sionis maintains several 'legitimate' businesses - many of which are believed to be fronts for illegal operations. Notable businesses in his portfolio include: Janus Cosmetics, Gotham Merchants' Bank, and the now-defunct Sionis Steel Works. Sionis has been charged with embezzling city funds, murder, racketeering, distribution of illegal narcotics, and other offenses, but never convicted. In previous trials, witnesses for the prosecution have been known to recant, die, or disappear. Investigation is ongoing."
Bane:
"The fugitive known as 'Bane' is currently on the run and wanted by the sovereign government of Santa Prisca following a prison break from Pena Duro penitentiary. While no records have been found to substantiate this, rumors allege Bane was born and raised within the prison walls. Bane is believed to be travelling with a large group of mercenaries who refer to themselves only as 'Followers'."
Copperhead:
"Some elements are consistent across all reports, and will be represented here. All reports indicate the killer is highly mobile, with an extremely flexible physiology. Case detectives suggest that the individual uses this ability to gain access to structures via small accessways, vents, and construction imperfections. Attributed killings are consistently either asphyxiation, fracture of the cervical vertebrae, or death through the application of exotic poisons."
