The highly anticipated next installment in the Batman: Arkham franchise has been announced, and it’s causing quite a stir among fans. Batman: Arkham Shadow, set to be a VR game, promises to immerse players in the dark and dangerous world of Gotham City like never before.
With the success of previous titles like Batman Arkham Knight and Batman Arkham City, which have collectively sold over 31 million copies worldwide, expectations are high for this latest addition to the series. The teaser trailer for Batman: Arkham Shadow, released on May 1, 2024, hints at a thrilling new adventure for players to embark on.
Set in the Batman: Arkham universe, the game is rumored to take place between the events of Batman Arkham Origins and Batman Arkham Asylum. The main antagonist, the Ratcatcher, is teased in the trailer, adding to the intrigue surrounding the storyline.
Fans were surprised to learn that Kevin Conroy, who has long been the voice of Batman in the Arkham series, will not be reprising his role in Batman: Arkham Shadow. Instead, Roger Craig Smith is rumored to be taking on the iconic role, although his involvement has not been officially confirmed.
Despite some initial skepticism from fans about the VR aspect of the game, many are hopeful that Batman: Arkham Shadow will deliver an immersive and thrilling experience, much like other successful VR titles such as Half-Life: Alyx. The game will be exclusive to the Meta Quest 3, adding to the excitement for players who are eager to dive into the world of Gotham City in virtual reality.
