Batman: Arkham Origins multiplayer beta invites going out now

Warner Bros. is currently sending out invitations to an open multiplayer beta for Batman: Arkham Origins, according to a tweet from the game's official Twitter channel.

"If you've received an open beta invite for #ArkhamOrigins, yes it is legitimately from us. No spam or phishing, just fun times in Gotham," the company said.

PlayStation Lifestyle obtained the invitation sent to gamers, which says the beta period will be available from August 7-14.

GameSpot has reached out to Warner Bros. for additional information about the Batman: Arkham Origins multiplayer beta.

Yesterday, Warner Bros. officially revealed the Invisible Predator Online multiplayer mode for Batman: Arkham Origins. The game mode supports eight players divided into three groups: three thugs from Joker's gang taking on three members of Bane's group, while Batman and Robin attempt to take out members of both criminal groups.

The game's online mode will not be available on Wii U.
