Ahead of what will surely be an onslaught of news, Telltale has updated fans on its impending new Batman game.
Batman – A Telltale series (the fact the studio’s name is in the title, just highlights how far that company has come) is due this summer. It is a five-part episodic series, as has become custom with Telltale games. Telltale’s other titles includes Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Minecraft: Story Mode and a whole host of other little gems.
The Batman game is especially gaining some excitement, and ahead of its full E3 reveal, Telltale has released some screenshots and also the cast list for the game.
Bruce Wayne will be played by game actor favourite Troy Baker, Travis Willingham takes on the role of Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette will play Vicki Vale, while everyone’s favourite butler Alfred will be acted by Enn Reitel.
Elsewhere, Murphy Guyer has been cast as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle is Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey gets the catwoman gig.
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 TellTale boss Kevin Bruner.
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.”
Check out a couple of the screenshots:
