NVIDIA Teams Up With Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on Batman: Arkham Origins 

Gamers Who Purchase a Qualifying GPU to Receive Free PC Edition of the Game

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Aug. 30, 2013—NVIDIA today announced it is working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and WB Games Montréal to makeBatman™: Arkham Origins, the next installment in the blockbuster Batman: Arkham videogame franchise, a technically advanced and intensely realistic chapter in the award-winning saga for PC players.

Combined, these technologies bring the intricately detailed worlds of Gotham to life.
