Gameplay footage showing the Batman game that evolved into Shadow of Mordor has appeared online.
Once upon a time, developer Monolith was working on this Batman project with the hope it would tie in with Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight film series. However, the game was eventually scrapped – reportedly in part due to the films’ director never officially giving the idea his blessing.
A 2019 episode of Did You Know Gaming? reported that this cancelled Batman project – which was codenamed Apollo – would have featured a variety of stealth and combat mechanics inspired by the Arkham games, open-world technology and the foundation of what would eventually become Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis system.
