Telltale Games has mastered the art of making episodic point-and-click games set within the worlds of existing properties. From movies like Back to the Future and Jurassic Park, to comics like The Walking Dead and Fables, to TV shows like Game of Thrones, and even other game franchises like Borderlands and Minecraft—they craft games set in many different worlds, and they do it very well.
Next up for Telltale is to branch into the realms of superheroes. It’s already been announced that they’re making a game series set in the Marvel universe, but they aren’t taking sides with it. At The Game Awards 2015 it was revealed, along with the first trailer for Walking Dead miniseries Michonne, that they will also be making a game set in DC Comics’ Batman universe. You can check out the announcement trailer for the currently untitled game below.
Here’s the full announcement from Telltale’s website:
Telltale Games, with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment, today announced an interactive episodic game series based on DC Comics’ iconic Batmanâ„¢ that is set to premiere in 2016. The official title for the Telltale series is yet to be revealed.
The episodic game series will premiere digitally on home consoles, PC/Mac, and mobile devices. Specific platform details are yet to be announced.
“At Telltale, we’ve been honored 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 Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “This iteration of Batman will give fans a first-hand opportunity to dive deeper into the complex life and mind of Bruce Wayne, the duality of his own identity, and the struggle of responsibility in saving a city overcome with corruption and villainy.”
“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. “We look forward to working with the team as they deliver a new interactive way for fans and gamers to experience the rich narrative world of Batman.”
Revealed on-stage at The Game Awards 2015 in Los Angeles, the full announcement teaser trailer will be available for online viewing later this week.
