Third Assassin for Batman Arkham Origins Confirmed

First Deathstroke, then Deadshot, now Bane has been confirmed as an assassin in Batman Arkham Origins.

Arkhamverse.com caught the slip of the tongue from Holmes in the video interview with EP Daily during the E3 Press Preview event, during which Creative Director Eric Holmes revealed that Bane will not only be in the game, but be acting as one of the eight assassins hired by Black Mask to kill the Batman.

Bane doesn't necessarily come to mind when I hear 'assassin'.

GenericNameHere4740d ago

Yeah, when I hear of Assassins, I think of professional murderers like Hitmans and Ninjas who try to indirectly kill their targets or kill from the shadows, and if they do get caught, they're really fast and good at disguising themselves or blending in with a crowd. Bane's too bulky to be an Assassin. Just make him a Brute like he's been since his debut.

Dr Pepper4740d ago

From Merriam-Webster: "a person who commits murder; especially : one who murders a politically important person either for hire or from fanatical motives"

So he does fit the mold, just not what assassins are usually portrayed as.

Im concerned of this game when the developers consider Bane as an "Assassin"

He's a terrorist, a mercenary at most, but definitely not an assassin.

toxic-inferno4740d ago

I know this opinion is going to be controversial, but I like the decision to have Bane as one of the assassins. He's been used as nothing but a brute for the last two games, and it will be good to finally see more of his character coming out. While I agree that he isn't exactly the traditional "assassin", you can't really deny that having him in that role will open up new routes for his character development.

so you guys would rather him fight 8 identical ninja type dudes instead of 8 different types of characters ?

No wonder developers get confused.

Whilst he's not narrowly defined as an assassin, comicbook-Bane did often work as a mercenary. I think, for the purposes of a videogame, the line between assassin and mercenary has been blurred by the developer. As long as he is portrayed with more intelligence than in AC, I'm quite happy for this to happen.

nofallouthero4739d ago

i wonder if he will be smart just like he is in the comics or will he be dumb like he is in the two other games.
also i wonder if Azrael will become batman for a little while in the 4th game.

When you see articles titled like this with the quoted section at the end... its most often intended to be out of context rage bait.

In this case the article is telling you nothing. You can assume that the value of this deal came mostly from the IP itself.

Rebel_Scum170d ago

tbf they’re not wrong. Since Arkham Knight their relevancy has been poor.

Harry Potter Games(Including Hogwarts Legacy)
Netherealm and Monolith games like Mortal Kombat 11, 1, and the LOTR Shadows of games.
Every Tt Lego games publishes more than just Batman.

Remember, WB Games is an umbrella of multiple studios:
Avalanche Software, NetherRealm Studios, Rocksteady Studios, TT Games (and its divisions like Traveller's Tales), WB Games Montréal, WB Games Boston, WB Games New York, and WB Games San Francisco.

Well it looks like none of this matters as the Saudi are doing a hostile takeover for about 108 billions via paramount 🤷🏿

OhReginald170d ago

Definitely not minor. It's all haggling to bring the price down.

The way everything going these days…..Meh

raWfodog323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

It has (or rather had) potential to be a good game with a good storyline to match. Especially if it was able to improve upon the gameplay mechanics from the previous Arkham titles. They could have given us a literal killer Batman with assassination combat. It could have portrayed Damian as trying to walk a fine line between his assassin upbringing and his father's moral code while trying to keep Gotham safe from whatever new threat the devs could have cooked up.

"A prior leak had revealed that the game would feature a rundown Gotham, Two-Face, Gorilla Grodd, Flamingo, Black Mask, Penguin, Dick Grayson, Old Bruce Wayne, and the Nemesis System from Middle-Earth: Shadow of War."

Damn, the Nemesis system too? That would have been epic.
