‘Batman: Arkham Shadow’ Debuts First Gameplay Trailer at Gamescom 2024
Today we revealed the first in-game footage of Batman: Arkham Shadow as part of Gamescom Opening Night Live. The iconic Arkham combat. Gliding and grappling. Stealth takedowns. Detective Vision. You’ll see it all in the new trailer, below.
We’ve also narrowed the release window slightly. Batman: Arkham Shadow will be out in October.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is a groundbreaking new entry in the famed Arkham series, developed exclusively for Meta Quest 3 by Camouflaj and Oculus Studios, in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC.
This time around, you are Batman. Land bone-crushing punches. Glide into hapless enemies. Retreat to the shadows. Camouflaj has reimagined the core Arkham experience for VR, drawing particular inspiration from Batman: Arkham Asylum and its intricate and interconnected level design.
You’ll need to master all of Batman’s abilities in order to save Gotham City. Set between the events of Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum, you’ll step into the shoes of a relatively young—and increasingly confident—Bruce Wayne as he takes on the Rat King, a dangerous new criminal with a cultish following.
An all-star cast brings Batman: Arkham Shadow’s cinematic campaign to life. Earlier this year we revealed that Roger Craig Smith would reprise the role of Batman, and now we’re excited to announce that Batman: Arkham Shadow also features Troy Baker as Harvey Dent, Tara Strong as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Mark Rolston as James Gordon, Khary Payton as Otis Flannagan, Earl Baylon as Lyle Bolton, Chelsea Kane as Barbara Gordon, and Martin Jarvis as Alfred Pennyworth. Experience the origins of these legendary characters—and discover which (if any) of them turn villain before the credits roll.
Batman: Arkham Shadow will push Meta Quest 3 to its limits, giving players an up-close look at Gotham City and delivering an Arkham experience that will resonate with longtime fans. We’re very excited about this one, and can’t wait to get it in your hands come October.
Keep an eye out for more information on Camouflaj’s site and here on the Meta Quest Blog in the weeks and months to come, and wishlist Batman: Arkham Shadow on the Meta Quest Store!
