Bruce Wayne is not a happy man, but he should be for the magnificent beard he gains in Batman: Arkham Origins – Initiation DLC. While it won’t cover his stint in the League of Shadows, it will be about his training during the pre-Batman days and take fans somewhere other than Arkham.

“Set high in the Paektu-San Mountains of North Korea, the Initiation Add-On follows a young Bruce Wayne as he faces his ultimate test. Players will embark upon a series of challenge maps that test their martial arts training across exotic locales, including a bamboo forest and a mountain top monastery. Fans will face fresh enemies along with an epic final test to prove their worthiness to Bruce’s greatest and most pitiless teacher, Kirigi.”

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment are thankfully taking us beyond Gotham for this DLC, something fans may rejoice to play. We weren’t so favorable to the game for not giving us something different, so this should be a breath of fresh air.

Out tomorrow on PSN, XBL, Nintendo eShop and Steam for £5.49, the Initiation add-on will will feature four challenge maps and 2 new skills. The DLC is also part of the Batman: Arkham Origins Season Pass.
