Batman: Arkham Shadow Gameplay Trailer Reveals First-Person Dark Knight Action

As a longtime Batman fan who’s seen Gotham City through countless stormy nights and shadowy alleys, I must admit, the reveal of Batman: Arkham Shadow has me positively electrified! The first gameplay trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live was nothing short of a masterclass in virtual reality immersion.


At Gamescom Opening Night Live, the initial gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Shadow – an upcoming Arkhamverse title exclusively available on Meta Quest 3 VR headsets – has been unveiled. Similar to previous Arkham games, you’ll have the chance to punch thugs, hurl Batarangs at foes, and stealthily approach individuals, all within a virtual reality setting.

In an interview, developer Camouflaj reveals that they took inspiration from Rocksteady’s Arkham series, allowing players to link combos and navigate detailed environments. As one might anticipate, saving Gotham City from the clutches of the Rat King, a longstanding Batman foe who has amassed a cult, requires expertise in all of Batman’s abilities. It’s intriguing to note that Batman seems to require assistance, as the trailer concludes with him encountering Otis Flanagan. Regardless of his anger, he remains just a Rat-Catcher trapped within a confinement.

In a timeline that bridges Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum, the story unfolds with Batman: Arkham Shadow. At this stage of his career, although young, Batman is growing more assured in his abilities and his duty as Gotham’s guardian.

In Arkham Shadow, some recognizable characters – both visually and vocally – will make an appearance. Troy Baker and Tara Strong are reprising their roles as Harvey Dent and Harleen Quinzel respectively. Additionally, Khary Payton, a seasoned voice actor with an impressive resume, is lending his voice to Flanagan. Interestingly, he’s also voicing Azzuri, the World War II-era Black Panther, in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, due for release soon.

As a dedicated gamer, I was thrilled when Batman: Arkham Shadow made its debut back in May. It marks the return of the Batman: Arkham series since 2016’s Batman: Arkham VR. Interestingly, this version of the Dark Knight has also popped up in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, another game set within the Arkhamverse. Regrettably, this live-service game hasn’t been doing so well, critically and commercially speaking, since its launch earlier this year.
