[PC, PS3, X360] Batman: Arkham Origins will include an online multiplayer component

Batman: Arkham Origins will join the long list of franchise that have decided to include an online multiplayer mode despite the complete lack of necessity for one. Sometimes it works out well, such as in Uncharted 2, otherwise it ends up not amounting to anything, much like in Tomb Raider.

The multiplayer mode, which includes third-person shooter mechanics, is being worked on by Splash Damage. Previously Splash Damage have worked on games such as Brink and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

As you can see in the video above, uploaded by Splash Damage, showcases the online multiplayer in action. Players will take part in 3 vs. 3. vs. 2 matches that will give players the option to play as either Batman or Robin and use them against their friends.

As for the villains? You'll be able to play as so-called "Super-Villain Elite" characters to see how it feels to play on the same side as The Joker and bane. As a reward for performing well players will be able to take control of charcters like The Joker or Bane themselves.

The multiplayer component will be available for Batman: Arkham Origins when the game launches for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Unfortunately it seems that the extra feature will not be included in the Wii U version, which is an incredibly disappointing decision.
