The Batman : Arkham games is getting a new edition and on a (somewhat) new platform. Batman: Arkham VR will bring the Arkham series to players in stunning virtual reality, exclusively on the PlayStation VR.
The announcement was made at Sony’s E3 2016 press conference where a trailer and an October release date was given.
Take a look at the Batman: Arkham VR trailer.
“Virtual reality is expanding the video game space and entertainment overall, so it is extremely exciting to have our incredible team at Rocksteady Studios dive into this new storytelling medium with the Batman Arkham franchise,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Rocksteady is one of the best at creating story-driven content, and Batman: Arkham VR will deliver a more immersive experience than anyone could have imagined only a few years ago.”
Batman: Arkham VR immerses players into the Dark Knight’s universe as they experience Gotham City through the eyes of the World’s Greatest Detective. And this experience isn’t just a retelling of the Arkham games, but Batman: Arkham VR will tell a brand new mystery as players utilize Batman’s legendary gadgets to unravel a plot that threatens his closest allies.
“Rocksteady is always looking for new ways to further engross players into the worlds we create and Batman: Arkham VR is an example of how we’re taking advantage of the latest technology to do that,” said Sefton Hill, Game Director, Rocksteady Studios. “The team is committed to delivering a Batman experience that stays true to the character and allows players to fully immerse themselves in the role of the World’s Greatest Detective.”
