Batman: Arkham Origins launch trailer: It’s going to be a dark Christmas Eve

We're just two days away from the release of Batman: Arkham Origins, which means it's time for a launch trailer. Titled "Personal Mission," the trailer sets the tone for the action-packed story that awaits you as you enter Gotham City as a younger, more raw Batman.

Set several years before the events of Arkham Asylum and Arkyam City, Batman: Arkham Origins features an original storyline that  sees Black Mask (Roman Sionis) put a bounty on Batman's head in an attempt to tighten his grip on Gotham. Now in control of the city's criminal underworld, Black Mask hires eight different assassins to take down Batman. As a prequel, you'll meet important characters for the first time and forge key relationships on the path to becoming the Dark Knight.

Batman: Arkham Origins will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and PC on October 25. It launches alongside Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate which will release on PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS.
