Looks like Gotham City is going to be anything but a Winter Wonderland when April 22nd 2014 rolls around as the Cold, Cold Heart Story Add-On DLC drops for Batman: Arkham Origins. The teaser trailer already gives away that none other than Mr. Freeze will be out to chill Bruce Wayne’s heart.
We’re informed this DLC will take players through the origin story of on Dr. Victor Fries before he became a walking cryogenic experiment. Warner Brothers is promising the DLC will be “extensive” so I’m wondering where they are going with this.
In addition to Mr. Freeze, Batman is also getting some upgrades to deal with the temperature, namely the Extreme Environment Suit, Thermal Gloves and Thermocharge Batarangs. So expect some puzzles that have you making things hot and cold or variations of. Unfortuntealy Wii U players will be left out in the cold but PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners should all be chilling out soon.
