Arkham Origins: 6 Playable Characters Revealed so Far

1. Deathstroke

Deathstroke Available in the game€™s challenge maps, what we know about how Deathstroke will play verges on nothing. The character was confirmed as a pre-order bonus months ago, becoming the first announced playable character that isn€™t Batman, yet we still haven€™t seen any gameplay footage for him at all. His role as the world€™s greatest assassin suggests he€™ll be able to use guns, swords, and explosives during combat. As Deathstroke is a diverse fighter who uses a range of weapons to despatch his opponents, it provides opportunities for many interesting combos that join the use of different weapons in order to take down enemies in the most spectacular fashion possible. Deathstroke€™s outfit is essentially just a less colourful version of the suit he normally wears, which is down to it being made from metal rather than a series of flamboyant fabrics. Voice wise he€™s pretty uninteresting too, but then again he isn€™t famous for having much of a personality so it makes sense that there€™d be nothing memorable about him in terms of the audio. Sadly there€™s nothing else we can really say without getting some playtime with the character (or at least seeing some footage), so we€™ll have to leave you wanting. Hopefully at least one more hero or villain will be revealed as playable before the game€™s release, as it would be nice to have at least one female pc in there among the sausage fest that currently makes up the selectable roster. Are you happy with the list of playable characters as it is or do you think someone should be added? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
