On what holiday is Batman: Arkham Origins set? The game is set on Christmas Eve.

Batman: Arkham Origins takes place during a snowy Christmas Eve in Gotham City, early in Batman’s career. He is still developing into the more experienced and trusted figure seen in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.

Crime lord Black Mask places a $50 million bounty on Batman, drawing eight elite assassins to Gotham. Their arrival creates a citywide crisis that is intensified by corrupt police, gang violence, and villains exploiting the chaos. The Joker also becomes central to the night’s events.

Players sometimes confuse the setting with New Year’s Eve because the downloadable expansion Cold, Cold Heart takes place one week after the main game, on New Year’s Eve. That expansion follows Batman’s confrontation with Mr. Freeze. The main campaign itself remains firmly tied to Christmas Eve, giving the game its wintry atmosphere and holiday-night premise.
