Warner Bros today released Cold, Cold Heart, the action-packed story add-on for Batman: Arkham Origins. Set on New Year’s Eve, Cold, Cold Heart sheds light on the tragic origin story of Mr. Freeze and players will discover how he earned his place as one of Gotham City’s greatest villains. Cold, Cold Heart is available today for purchase on PSN, Xbox Live and STEAM for £7.99. Enjoy the launch trailer for this new DLC below!
Batman: Arkham Origins: Cold, Cold Heart takes place just a few days after the main story, proving once again that even Batman never sleeps. It doesn't waste much time getting into the thick of things, as the DLC kicks off at Wayne Manor. Ferris Boyle, CEO of GothCorp, is just about to accept a humanitarian award on New Year's Eve when Mr. Freeze and some thugs bust in. Thugs break up the party almost immediately, and out from the icy backdrop comes Mr. Freeze.
Fans of Batman: The Animated Series will feel right at home, as Freeze's voice and the story's premise is derived directly from the show. Freeze once again sports an imposing, unique voice, and since this is Batman's first encounter with him, gamers get that air of mystery if you don't know what his backstory entails. You even get to learn his origin story through a particularly cool crime reconstruction scene.
The DLC moves fast, and even though you'll start off knocking a few thugs around as Bruce Wayne, it doesn't take long until you're in the all-powerful batsuit. You'll also meet a few familiar faces like Vicki Vale and Penguin, so this isn't just a "Batman vs. Freeze" joint, and the narrative was entertaining.
Gamers might be wondering what to call Batman’s new batsuit, the EX Suit -- a batsuit completely unique to the DLC. It's a bit ridiculous looking as it's rather bulky, and it's functionality the same as the normal suit, subbing out shock gloves for thermal gloves, and a sonic batarang for a thermal batarang that can melt ice.
