boxartlgIt has been revealed via the official Xbox website that Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Deluxe Edition will be available for purchase on Xbox Live Arcade March 25.  Below is the synopsis given for the game:

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate – Deluxe Edition amplifies the 2.5-D game with new maps, enemy encounters, difficulty levels, batsuits, and enhanced visuals. A companion game to Batman: Arkham Origins, players can continue the storyline of the console version and discover more details of the Dark Knight’s past. Featuring stealth gameplay, free-flow combat, and Batman’s famed arsenal of gadgets, the genuine Arkham experience is reproduced in a deep, action packed side-scrolling adventure.

Arkham Origins Blackgate was released on handheld consoles (Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita) last fall. Taking place several months after its big brother of sorts, Arkham Origins Blackgate tells a unique story and even features Batman’s first meeting with Catwoman in the “Arkhamverse”.

There’s no word yet if a Playstation Network version is in the works. Considering that I don’t own a handheld console, this may be the motivation I need to finally get on Xbox Live. Below are some screenshots from the game.
