Telltale sure is busy these days. In addition to The Walking Dead Season Three, they’re also hard at work on a brand new Batman game, which will be the Caped Crusader’s second M-rated outing after Arkham Knight.
Simply called Batman – The Telltale Series, the first bunch of screens from the game reveal a beautiful cel-shaded art style that sure stays true to the comic book source material. In pure Telltale fashion, there will be multiple dialogue options and decisions that the player can make which will decide the course of the game.
The Dark Knight himself will be voiced by fan favorite Troy Baker. Other confirmed characters are Two-Face (Travis Willingham), Vicki Vale (Erin Yvette), James Gordon (Murphy Guyer), Carmine Falcone (Richard McGonagle), and Laura Bailey as Catwoman. Enn Reitel will voice Batman’s loyal butler, Alfred.
This is by no means Telltale’s first DC adaptation, as they were also responsible for The Wolf Among Us, based on the Fables series published by DC’s adults-only Vertigo imprint. That game was nothing short of fantastic, so were counting on Batman to carry on the legacy.
Prepare to become the night when Batman arrives in episodic installments starting later this year.
Synopsis:
The Telltale crew is down in Los Angeles for the annual E3 Gaming Expo… now we can share the very first screens and cast details for the upcoming BATMAN – The Telltale Series ahead of its worldwide debut this summer!
The episodic series will premiere digitally on home consoles, PC/Mac, and mobile devices; and we’ll be showing it privately to guests at E3 this coming week. The series will also be available on game consoles as a special ‘Season Pass Disc,’ which will be available at retailers across North America, Latin America, and Europe later this summer, granting access to the five-episode season as it becomes available for download.
Our CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Bruner had this to say about the upcoming series: “We’ve been hard at work at Telltale creating an all-new iteration of the iconic Batman story that puts players in the suit of billionaire Bruce Wayne, just as much as it will put them behind the mask, deciding how to carefully navigate a complex drama, rich with action, crime, corruption, and villainy lurking around every corner of Gotham City. The complex life and fractured psyche of Bruce Wayne has lent itself to becoming a bold evolution of the signature ‘Telltale’ role-playing experience, and we couldn’t be more excited as we prepare to debut the series to players across the world this summer.”
Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale’s vision of Batman will feature an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. We’ll be able to reveal additional cast and characters as the season progresses.
