Batman: Arkham Origins Season Pass

Following the trend of many games now, Batman: Arkham Origins is getting a season pass which gives a glimpse at some of the DLC to come.

There are five packs to gain through the season pass, with a large chuck of the DLC up for grabs being skins. There are fourteen skins in all, resulting in plenty of choice when it comes to dressing Batman for beating up villains. There is the New Millennium and Infinite Earth skin packs, and two additional outfits exclusive to the season pass, the Gotham by Gaslight and Brightest Day Batman Skins.  

Thankfully the season pass does not just contain skins, it also gives you the chance to play as Bruce Wayne on the challenge maps. Lastly, and I think most people will find best of all, their will be an all new story add on, although there on no more details on what this is yet.

The season pass will be £15.99 / $19.99, which is a saving on purchasing the DLC separately of about $10. I think that the season pass will prove its worth to Arkham fans through making Bruce Wayne a playable character, but largely once more details emerge about the story DLC.
