According to a new trailer via IGN, the next installment in the hit Batman: Arkham series will be a VR game titled Batman: Arkham Shadow.
Although the trailer did not confirm a concrete release date, a release window is currently set for “late 2024.” Fortunately, it also teases that the world premiere is coming to Summer Game Fest 2024 on June 7th. Fans can likely expect a release date trailer during that event.
Further, today’s trailer adds that Batman: Arkham Shadow will be exclusively available on Meta Quest 3. The game comes via Camouflaj and Oculus Studios, who partnered with DC and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
The original Batman: Arkham trilogy remains iconic, and renewed interest when it released onto Switch a few months ago. Fans often praised its immersive and fluid combat system, as well as the memorable performances.
Some fans might be disappointed that Batman: Arkham is returning in the VR space. However, its immersive gameplay should be a natural fit.
Today’s trailer was only a cinematic, so there aren’t many details about the plot itself, though fans are speculating on some of the imagery.
The trailer description simply says that “Gotham City is in danger,” and that “you’re the only one who can save it.” This is about as vague as it gets for a Batman-themed game. Summer Game Fest will likely reveal more about the narrative itself. Hopefully, there will also be word on the cast.
