Batman – The Telltale Series Now Available on Nintendo Switch Both Digitally and at Retail

Posted on by

Telltale Games, in partnership with DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have launched Batman – The Telltale Series on Nintendo Switch in North America. The full first season is available both digitally and at retail for $39.99 USD. All five episodes come already loaded on the retail cartridge. The game will also become available on Switch in Europe and Australia on November 17.

Batman – The Telltale Series gives players the opportunity to role-play as both Bruce Wayne and Batman in a fresh take on Batman canon. In the series’ opening episode, ‘Realm of Shadows,’ Bruce Wayne is forced to question everything he thought he knew about his identity when he discovers his father was in fact a ruthless crime boss. As both Bruce and Batman, players must negotiate harsh political turmoil and prevent Gotham City from descending into chaos while digging into the truth about the Wayne family’s sordid past.

Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale’s vision of Batman features 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, Jason Spisak as Oswald Cobblepot, Dave Fennoy as Lucius Fox, Anthony Ingruber as John Doe, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle.

Batman: Sins of the Father Expands the Telltale Video Game Series

Posted on by

Batman: The Telltale Series, is adding new plot points to its storyline in a new Digital First comic book miniseries, Batman: Sins of the Father, to be released by DC Comics. The series will bridge the gap between the first and second season of the acclaimed game, developed by Telltale Games and licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. TV and comic book writer Christos Gage will helm the series, with artist Raffaele Ienco making his debut on his first DC comic book. The story will delve deeper into the narrative, with new details for current game, Batman: The Enemy Within. The miniseries will be released digitally beginning February 12, with print issues beginning February 21.

After the events of season one, Bruce Wayne is working to rebuild the reputation of his family and their company, Wayne Enterprises, while his alter ego, Batman, attempts to create a working relationship between himself and the GCPD. However, before Bruce can begin reparations for the families affected by Thomas Wayne, a mysterious figure begins killing people associated with Arkham Asylum. As suspicion falls on the families suing Wayne, Batman will begin his own investigation into the mystery assassin—and he’ll paint a target on his own back in the process.

Bi-weekly digital chapters of Batman: Sins of the Father can be downloaded starting February 12 via the DC Comics App, readdcentertainment.com, iBooks, comiXology, Google Play, Kindle Store and Nook Store. Print issues will collect two digital chapters, with Batman: Sins of the Father #1 hitting shelves February 21.
