A new Batman game by Telltale Games is coming in 2016

Telltale Games can do no wrong. After hugely successful games in the worlds of Game of Thrones, Borderlands and even Minecraft, games studio Telltale Games has scored perhaps their biggest catch yet. Announced at the 2015 The Game Awards, a Batman game by Telltale Games was announced in conjunction with Warner Bros Entertainment and DC Comics Entertainment. The focus on the story appears to be well after Bruce Wayne’s origin story of becoming Batman, and focuses more on the man and what drives him despite the adversity. Kevin Bruner, CEO of Telltale, said:

“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.”

“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.”

Given Telltale’s penchant for telling deeply harrowing and emotional stories, I couldn’t be more excited about this game. As has been the case with Telltale’s more recent games, the unnamed Batman game will be coming to consoles, PC and mobile sometime in 2016.
