Batman: Arkham Origins Coming This Year...

...but it's not made by Rocksteady Studios, who is apparently working on something else.

Batman: Arkham Origins is coming this October to current gen consoles, and it’s not being made by Rocksteady Studios. This time, WB Games Montreal is the developer.

It’s set for a release on October 25 for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Set early in Batman’s career, Batman: Arkham Origins centers on a transformative moment for the caped hero, as he established relationships with those that will come to define him. The game also turns Gotham City on New Years Eve into an open playground.

In addition to Batman: Arkham Origins, Armature Studio is developing Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate (say that five times fast), a 2.5D game for 3DS and Vita. Haven’t heard of Armature Studio? Just know some of the primary creatives behind Metroid Prime started that company. Interested yet?

It’s not clear what Rocksteady Studios is working on, though my money’s on a Superman game.
