The Wii U version of Batman Arkham Origins will be $10 cheaper than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Kotaku reports having received confirmation from the game's publisher, Warner Bros., which has set the Wii U version's price at $49.99 - $10 less than the PS3 and Xbox 360 version, which will retain the conventional $59.99 price tag. While the exact reason for the lowered price went undisclosed, it's worth noting that the Wii U version will lack the multiplayer mode present in other versions. The $10 discount perhaps serves as compensation for the omission.
Arkham Origins' multiplayer is being developed independently of the single-player by London-based studio Splash Damage, which has previously developed Enemy Territories: Quake Wars and, more recently, class-based shooter Brink.
Warner Bros. recently confirmed a Batman: Arkham Origins season pass. It will contain five of the game's upcoming DLC packs for a one off payment of £15.99, compared to £27.99 when bought individually.
Warner has confirmed a Batman Arkham Origins release date of October 25.
