Telltale announces new Batman game, teases The Walking Dead: Michonne
As if its ongoing partnerships with Marvel and other popular franchise owners weren’t enough, Telltale has just announced that it has struck up a deal with DC to develop an episodic adventure game featuring Batman.
The Dark Knight
The game, whose official title is yet to be revealed, is set to be launched in 2016 (earlier than the product of Telltale’s collaboration with Marvel, which is scheduled for 2017). It promises to offer players a new interactive way to explore the complex world of the caped crusader.
“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 notes.
Details about the game are understandably scarce at the moment. But a teaser trailer is expected to be posted by Telltale later this week.
Interestingly, the announcement of Telltale’s upcoming Batman game comes hot on the heels of the release of the latest trailer for “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” which is set to hit theaters on March 25, 2016. Take a look:

Spanning three episodes (as opposed to the usual five-episode run of a Telltale game), The Walking Dead: Michonne focuses on the “untold journey” of Michonne, who’s “haunted by her past and coping with unimaginable loss and regret.” It features Samira Wiley of “Orange is the New Black” in the title role.
The Walking Dead: Michonne is scheduled to premiere in February next year.

Being the busy studio that it is, Telltale also has an ongoing series in the form of Minecraft: Story Mode, based on the popular Minecraft sandbox game developed by Mojang. That game’s third episode was released by Telltale just last week.
