Batman: Arkham Shadow might not be the new, mainline Arkham title that so many have been hoping to see for years now, but as a new entry in an established series coming from a talented studio in Camouflaj, it’s still managed to turn a few heads. Recently at Summer Game Fest, we got another look at the game, courtesy of a new story trailer.
Batman: Arkham Shadow will see the Batman going up against the Rat King, as the villain and his followers pose a new threat to Gotham City. The trailer sets up said conflict, while also offering glimpses of some other key characters (such as Commissioner Gordon).
Described as an “immersive, full-length entry in the Arkham franchise”, the game will also feature appearances from other iconic characters such as Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, and more. It’s set two years after the events of Arkham Origins, which means it serves as another prequel to the mainline Arkham trilogy. Gameplay footage has yet to be unveiled.
Batman: Arkham Shadow launches exclusively for Meta Quest 3 this Fall. Stay tuned for more details on the game in the coming weeks and months.
