With the Batcave-sized caveat that we’re still yet to see gameplay, Batman Arkham Shadow – on paper at least – sounds hugely promising.
It’s a new chapter in the Arkham series where you actually play as Batman, crafted with a clear desire to build on the foundations of Rocksteady’s iconic trilogy. It’s built to a scope reminiscent of the original – and perhaps best – Arkham Asylum. And it lets you do all of the things you really want to do as the Dark Knight – pounce, glide, investigate and biff baddies on the chin.
Batman Arkham Shadow is also a VR game, of course – exclusive to Meta Quest 3 when it arrives this autumn, and unlikely, it sounds, to launch elsewhere. Built by Camouflaj , the talented team behind Iron Man VR, it has been several years in the making, in close collaboration with Warner Bros. Games, and veterans of Rocksteady itself.
