How you will become Batman is revealed by Telltale Games

Telltale is now a household name for gamers with titles like The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and Fables all showing how great its character-story based gaming can be. Now it’s moving onto Batman.

Telltale announced last year it would be creating a Batman game but had only just begun to release details.

The Batman Telltale game will, like the maker’s other titles, focus on the character and his story. For this reason you’ll be playing as Bruce Wayne as much as you will be as Batman. The decisions you make in Wayne’s life will affect the outcome of the game and the choices you have to make as Batman. You’ll even have the choice of dealing with issues as Wayne or as Batman.

The character can be developed as either one of “redemption” or one of “corruption”.

The style is described as modern day with a gritty feel and “R-rated film” darkness. It also won’t be going for realism like the recent films, in favour of the fantastic world of the comics.

Telltale says the comic book art of the last 75 years will be brought to life. Villains and other characters featured are not mentioned although it’s been made clear that Robin and Nightwing won’t appear.

The Telltale Batman game is set to arrive this summer.
