Often forgotten among its Arkhamverse counterparts, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is the one incontestable black sheep in a series of excellent gems. Batman: Arkham Origins—the main installment to Blackgate’s companion piece—hasn’t always been widely appreciated, either, but with age and retrospection it’s coming around as a hit from WB Games Montreal that firmly belongs in the Arkhamverse. Armature’s Blackgate has never wielded that same praise and, while a modern remake could work wonders for it as a full-blown 2.5 Metroidvania, the Arkhamverse’s ship has already set sail in a new direction.
