After plenty of teaser statements, Warner Bros. has finally detailed the first story-based expansion for Batman: Arkham Origins, called Cold, Cold Heart, which will reveal the origins of famed Batman villain Mr. Freeze.

Batman: Arkham Origins launched last year and delivered a pretty great action adventure experience that chronicled the first proper adventures of the Dark Knight, not to mention the origins of many of his enemies, like Bane, Joker, and more.

Now, through the first story-based expansion for the game, developer Warner Bros. Montreal is focusing on Mr. Freeze.

The add-on, called Cold, Cold Heart will see players explore new environments, like Wayne Manor, but also give them access to new in-game items, like the Batman Extreme Environment suit, or gadgets like the Thermal Gloves or the Thermocharged Batarangs.

The expansion introduces "several hours" of all-new content and adventures before culminating with Batman's first encounter with Mr. Freeze.

Batman: Arkham Origins Cold, Cold Heart DLC launches on April 22 for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms. It will be free for Season Pass owners, while the rest of the world needs to pay for it.
