Fresh from the news that The Wolf Among Us 2 has been resurrected by the equally-resurrected Telltale Games, another Telltale property in the form of Batman: The Telltale Series is getting a re-release and some new DLC.
Publisher Athlon Games and developer Telltale Games have announced in a now-deleted press release (someone hit the button too early, it seems) The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition: A version of Batman: The Telltale Series with “a noir-style visual makeover, graphical upgrade, and new downloadable content”. The game will available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store for $29.99. Those who already own Batman: The Telltale Series can add “Shadows Mode” as standalone downloadable content for $4.99.
“We’re excited to be able to build and continue the legacy of an iconic Telltale Games franchise by launching The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition today,” said Telltale Games CEO Jamie Ottilie in the press release. “This is just the beginning in a much more expansive plan to build on our catalog of Telltale Games titles, which we hope to discuss in further detail in the coming months.”
Taking a more psychological approach than previous games, Batman: The Telltale Series cast players into the fractured psyche of Bruce Wayne in a dark and violent original story and challenges players with discovering the powerful and far-reaching consequences of choice as the Dark Knight. As Batman, players will encounter classic allies and adversaries, and will learn the true meaning of what it means to be the man behind the cowl as Bruce Wayne.
