Batman - The Telltale Series Unveiled In First Look Ahead Of It's Premiere
Telltale Games have released a series of screens for the Batman game they are working on, with the promise that the first episode will release later this winter.
Players will get to experience an all new story for Batman, but while they are letting you play as Batman, you will also play just as much as Bruce Wayne, giving Bruce the first real chance to shine in a video game.
"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," said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. "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."
Of course, the big thing about any Telltale Game is the characters and Batman is a big character, so the voice behind the character is just as important and Telltale Games has tapped Troy Baker to provide the voice of Bruce Wayne and Batman, making it his second time voicing the Bat after Lego Batman and his third time in the DC universe after The Joke in Batman Arkham Origins and Two-Face in the Rocksteady games.
Other actors joining the cast are 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. Additional characters to be seen in the series are going to be announced later on.
If you are keen on getting the game, look for it on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Mac and mobile devices and for those that like the physical disc, the Season Pass disc will be available closer to launch.
