Batman: Arkham Shadow reveals first gameplay at Gamescom Opening Night Live

The VR game is being developed by Camouflaj and Oculus Studios

Oculus Studios and Camouflaj have revealed the first gameplay footage of Batman: Arkham Shadow.

The VR title, which will be released this October, was shown off during Gamescom Opening Night Live on Tuesday.

You can watch the first gameplay footage from the upcoming title below.

“This time around, you are Batman,” reads an official description of the game.

“Land bone-crushing punches. Glide into hapless enemies. Retreat to the shadows. Camouflaj has reimagined the core Arkham experience for VR, drawing particular inspiration from Batman: Arkham Asylum and its intricate and interconnected level design. You’ll need to master all of Batman’s abilities in order to save Gotham City.

“Set between the events of Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum, you’ll step into the shoes of a relatively young—and increasingly confident—Bruce Wayne as he takes on the Rat King, a dangerous new criminal with a cultish following.”

Batman: Arkham Shadow was announced in May, when it was confirmed to be a Meta Quest 3 exclusive.

It’s the second VR game to feature the Batman: Arkham name, after Batman: Arkham VR, which was released alongside the original PlayStation VR headset.
