E3 2016: Here Are The First Amazing Screenshots From ‘Batman: The Telltale Series’!

Briefly: Finally.

At last year’s fantastic The Game Awards. Telltale Games surprised gamers everywhere by announcing a Batman game. At the time, a mysterious trailer was revealed, and that’s basically it. The trailer showed no actual footage, and the game didn’t even have a title at that point.

As you could probably guess, the game is called Batman: The Telltale Series, and ahead of its official reveal at E3 later this week, Telltale has revealed the first screenshots from the title, as well as the game’s principal cast.

Telltale notes that “Telltale’s vision of Batman will feature an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. Additional cast and characters will be revealed as the season progresses.”

The look of the game is described as “a living, breathing comic book,” and it’s pretty easy to see that Batman is likely Telltale’s best looking game thus far:

The game will debut on home consoles, PC/Mac, and mobile devices, and E3 attendees will get a first look at the game this week.

“We’ve been hard at work at Telltale creating an all-new iteration of the iconic Batman story that puts players in the suit of billionaire Bruce Wayne, just as much as it will put them behind the mask, deciding how to carefully navigate a complex drama, rich with action, crime, corruption, and villainy lurking around every corner of Gotham City,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “The complex life and fractured psyche of Bruce Wayne has lent itself to becoming a bold evolution of the signature ‘Telltale’ role-playing experience, and we couldn’t be more excited as we prepare to debut the series to players across the world this summer.”
