Batman™: Arkham Origins - Cold, Cold Heart – Face the IceDeveloped by the talented teams at WB Games Montreal and Splash Damage, who successfully expanded the Arkhamverse lore, this story expansion brings a chilling new chapter to the Dark Knight’s early career. While the main game established a raw and unrefined hero, Batman™: Arkham Origins - Cold, Cold Heart throws a completely new element into the mix—ice. It is New Year’s Eve in Gotham City, and what starts as a humanitarian award ceremony hosted by Bruce Wayne quickly turns into a frozen war zone. The narrative goes deep, exploring the tragic backstory of Victor Fries and his desperate mission to save his dying wife, Nora. The open-world exploration takes you to new, frost-covered locations like the GothCorp labs. Combat remains fluid and brutal, but you now have access to Thermal Batarangs to heat up the action. You will need to master these tools to survive predator encounters against enemies wielding freeze rays. The detective work is just as sharp, requiring you to piece together the events that turned a brilliant scientist into a cold-blooded villain. Key FeaturesOrigin Retold: Experience the emotional and tragic transformation of Victor Fries into the legendary Mr. Freeze in a self-contained narrative. The XE Suit: Equip the Thermal Suit to withstand extreme cold, smash through frozen obstacles, and turn the tables on cryo-armed enemies. New Arsenal: Utilize Thermal Batarangs and heat-charged gloves to solve puzzles and melt the defenses of frozen opponents. Wayne Manor Defense: Start the game as Bruce Wayne defending his home before taking the fight to the frozen halls of GothCorp. Epic Boss Battle: Test your skills in an intense, multi-stage showdown against Mr. Freeze that requires tactical use of the environment. The beauty of this expansion lies in how it humanizes the villain. You aren't just trying to take down a bad guy; you are trying to save the victim and the monster simultaneously. The atmosphere is top-tier, capturing the eerie silence of a frozen city juxtaposed with the chaos of combat. Batman™: Arkham Origins - Cold, Cold Heart offers a perfect blend of storytelling, brawling, and stealth that feels essential to the Arkham timeline. With Anarky tags to collect and victims to thaw, there is plenty to keep you busy in the snow. Prepare to break the ice and uncover the truth behind the cold.
