Forums - Gaming - First Details on Telltale Games' Batman Series Revealed

Telltale Games has unveiled the first details of its forthcoming Batman series during a panel at South by Southwest.

The new series will take place in modern-day Gotham, but will not be tied to any existing adaptation of Batman in comics, films, or games. The story will focus on both Bruce Wayne and Batman, with player decisions shaping the city Bruce encounters in daylight, and the criminals Batman encounters at night.

"Each night, Bruce Wayne chooses to change Gotham for the better. The team wants to explore what the consequences are of the player’s actions when decisions made as Bruce have a critical impact on his nightly crusade as Batman, and vice versa. Certain key situations will give the player the decision to approach a scene as Bruce or Batman with consequences for both sides."

Though Telltale is not extending the series' initial coverage to Robin, Nightwing, etc., key secondary characters in the Batman series will be featured, including: Alfred, James Gordon, Vicki Vale, and Renee Montoya. Characters will be affected by the player's choices made as Bruce or Batman which will alter "their paths towards corruption or redemption."

Batman will be rated M (Mature 17+), with the cinematic approach reportedly feeling more akin to an R-rated film.

So many Tell Tale games, I'm going to keep buying them sadly



That actually sounds brilliant.

Consider me interested.



                            

I'm a big fan of superheroes so I'll keep an eye on this new game.



                                                                                     

Sounds good, but considering existing games, I'm guessing decisions and choices made dictate how many 'new' characters die, how unkillable characters feel about you, and if you actually catch certain criminals.

I like batman but after the Arkham games I feel like I'd struggle to get into the slow plodding pace of a Tell-tale game starring him. Just feels like really bad fit to me



I like Telltale Games, so I am def looking forward to their take on Batman.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I'll wait till it's complete and on sale, like I do with all Telltale games.
