Telltale’s interactive episodic Batman game coming in 2016

The celebrated “Batman: Arkham” series may have already ended, but the adventures of the Caped Crusader still continues. This time, it will be in the hands of narrative specialist Telltale Games.

Telltale has just announced that it has teamed up with DC Entertainment. Now the duo along with the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be working to develop an episodic adventure video game featuring Batman.

This year, after the release of the fourth and supposedly last installment in the Arkham series, “Batman: Arkham Knight,” fans were curious about the future of their superhero Batman in gaming. The first teaser trailer released by Telltale doesn’t reveal much of information, but it certainly leaves people wanting to know more. In the next coming announcements, however, Telltale Games is expected to give more information.

The Bat symbol in video posted by Batman-News is not similar to the one in “Batman v Superman.” Fans have begun to question whether any of the DC characters will be featured in the upcoming episodic adventure game series or it will have no connection with the other fictional characters.

“Telltale has an established track record of creating award-winning content for some of the best properties in the world,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment during The Game Awards. The full announcement teaser trailer will be released, later this week.

“At Telltale, we’ve been honoured to bring our unique approach to interactive storytelling to some of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world, and we’re excited to announce that we’ll soon be exploring what it means to be Batman in an all-new series starting next year,” said Telltale boss Kevin Bruner in a statement over at the official Telltale Games website.

The game, with no official title is set to be launched in 2016. The digital premiere for episodic adventure game series will be hosted on home consoles, PC and Mac, and mobile devices. Until now, no specific platform details are announced for the release and premiere.

The new Batman series promises to open the doors to a complex world. It will be interesting to see what comes in the next updates from the developer. Though presumably, the game will use Telltale’s familiar narrative and decision-based system, allowing players to take control over the story process and watch the what happens as a results of their actions throughout the multiple episodes.
