We hope everyone will stay tuned for more announcements in the coming months and, for now, enjoy playing in the Shadows.”
Batman: The Telltale Series cast players into the fractured psyche of Bruce Wayne in a dark and violent original story and challenges players with discovering the powerful and far-reaching consequences of choice as the Dark Knight.
