Release Date Set for Batman: Arkham Shadow VR
The highly anticipated VR game, Batman: Arkham Shadow, has officially announced its release date for Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S on October 22nd of this year. This game, set in the Arkhamverse, is a canonical entry that takes players back in time, situated between Arkham Asylum and Arkham Oranges. Players can expect to encounter familiar foes like Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Jim Gordon, along with the new addition of Ratcatcher.
Gameplay remains true to the series with elements such as stealth, combat, grappling, detective vision, and gadgets incorporated into the experience. The unique twist is that players will view the action through the eyes of Batman himself. With developer Camouflaj at the helm, including series veteran Bill Green, the game aims to deliver an authentic Arkhamverse experience.
Early impressions of Batman: Arkham Shadow have been positive, with Eurogamer’s Tom Phillips praising its VR adaptation of the Rocksteady original. Players can look forward to immersing themselves in Gotham City, patrolling the streets, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat starting October 22nd. While pricing details have not been revealed, the game will be bundled with new Meta Quest 3 and 3S purchases until April 30th of next year.
