It has been developed by Camouflaj, the makers of Iron Man VR, who are part of the Meta-owned Oculus Studios.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that a company outside of Rocksteady, which originated the Arkham franchise, has been allowed to play in this universe. Although Rocksteady did make 2016\u2019s Arkham VR, it was WB Games Montreal that made 2013\u2019s Arkham Origins.<\/p>\n<p>Batman: Arkham Shadow\u2019s official description simply says: \u201cEvil stalks the streets. Gotham City is in danger. And you\u2019re the only one who can save it. Prepare to enter Gotham for a new story set in the Batman: Arkham franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out the trailer below to get your first taste of the action! This short teaser is a bit more rat-focused than you might be expecting.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"f064b7e26811f1af000e7115be89c042a9f27ffe\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"f064b7e26811f1af000e7115be89c042a9f27ffe\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p>This news comes as something of a surprise after the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/suicide-squad-batman-arkham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League<\/a>. That Rocksteady-developed multiplayer game was set in the Arkham universe, and it resulted in a not-so-happy ending for DC\u2019s Dark Knight.<\/p>\n<p>Our assumption here is that Batman: Arkham Shadow is probably set at a different point in the timeline, perhaps slotting into the chronology between Arkham Knight and the Suicide Squad game.<\/p>\n<p>This, or shunting the action to another corner of the multiverse, would allow the developers from Camouflaj to tell their own story without treading on Rocksteady\u2019s toes.<\/p> <p>The developers from Camouflaj said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camouflaj.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on their website<\/a>: \u201cWe aim to deliver an authentic new entry in the celebrated Arkham franchise, something that the series\u2019 millions of fans will know is no easy feat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prospect of adding a new chapter to such a storied franchise is exhilarating. (And it\u2019s been a lot of fun.) We are committed to building upon the beloved foundation laid by the legendary team at Rocksteady, and driven to do it justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the start, Batman: Arkham Shadow is being crafted to be the ultimate VR game and take full advantage of Meta Quest 3. Leaning into our eight years of dedicated VR game development history has enabled us to not only create a distinctly Arkham-feeling game but done in a way that leverages the immersive magic only VR can provide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The release date for Arkham Shadow has not been confirmed, but the official materials tell us to expect it in \u201clate 2024\u201d. The game is launching as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/meta-quest-3-worth-it-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meta Quest 3<\/a> exclusive.
