Batman: Arkham Origins is Nvidia’s next bundled game
Nvidia just announced it has been working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and WB Games Montréal to make Batman: Arkham Origins, the next installment in the Batman: Arkham videogame franchise, more technically advanced visually and more intensely realistic for PC gamers.
As a bonus, gamers who purchase a GeForce GTX 660, 660 Ti, 670, 680, 760, 770 or 780 from a participating partner will receive a free PC edition of Batman: Arkham Origins, which will be released worldwide on Oct. 25, 2013.
Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City set several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young Batman as he starts on his path to becoming the Dark Knight.
Nvidia’s Developer Technology Team has been working closely with WB Games Montréal to incorporate a DirectX tessellation, Nvidia TXAA antialiasing, soft shadows and various PhysX environmental effects, such as cloth, steam and snow. It should be visually impressive and hopefully a step up from the earlier games in the series.
Nvidia will be unveiling a sneak peek of Batman: Arkham Origins at PAX Prime in Seattle, during the Nvidia stage presentation at the Paramount Theater on Monday, Sept. 2 at 10 a.m. PT. Entry is free. Our own Gaming Editor, Erik Nilsen, will be there to report on it for ABT readers.
Additionally, any PAX attendees that purchase a qualified bundle from the special kiosk at the Nvidia booth on the show floor will receive for free a limited edition Batman lithograph — one of only 1,000 being produced.
