10 Massive Video Game Spoilers The Internet Totally Ruined

10. Batman: Arkham Origins

The major spoiler: Black Mask was the Joker

This one blindsided pretty much everyone when Arkham Origins released at the end of 2013, and it's easy to see why.

In the run up to the game's release, Canadian developers Warner Bros. Montreal had remained adamant throughout the marketing period that it would be Black Mask, not Joker, who would occupy the role of the game's primary antagonist. So, when that premise was shifted totally on its head about three hours into the title's story by revealing that it was Joker, not Roman Sionis as we thought, who had in fact orchestrated the bounty on Batman's head, it proved to be a bit of a shocking moment.

With the spoiler taking place so early on in the game, it gave plenty of time for trolls to play through and begin a merciless campaign on message boards informing people of the twist. Black Mask ended up being little more than a distraction to the main events of the story, and whilst that may have benefitted the narrative superbly, it only provided ammunition for people hoping to spoil the title's story for others.
