The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition Games Announced for PS4, Xbox One and PC

Athlon Games has revealed a new Batman game called The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition, a game which includes Batman: The Telltale Series as well as new DLC. A press release found on the company’s site.

Batman: The Telltale Series with a noir-style visual makeover, graphical upgrade, and new downloadable content for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store for $29.99. Users who already own Batman: The Telltale Series can add “Shadows Mode” as standalone downloadable content for $4.99.

It wasn't long that a press release was released on the Athlon Games website. At the time of writing the press release has already been taken down but as is expected on the internet it was already copied elsewhere. Telltale Batman Shadows Edition will combine the two seasons of the original game into one bundle and add a new noir-style visual to the game.

Because of the date that’s affixed to the press release on the new game’s site, there’s some confusion as to when the game was supposed to be announced. It’s a title that’s appeared in leaks and rumors before such as ones like the tweet below from as early as today, though the press release is dated for December 5th.

It looks as though this "announcement" might be a leak itself since there's been little fanfare around the game other than the dated press release, but the new edition of the Batman game is certainly real.

“We’re excited to be able to build and continue the legacy of an iconic Telltale Games franchise by launching The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition today,” said Telltale Games CEO Jamie Ottilie in the press release. “This is just the beginning in a much more expansive plan to build on our catalog of Telltale Games titles, which we hope to discuss in further detail in the coming months.”

There is no details or date for the game as of now, just that it will be launching for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC (both Steam and Epic Games Store). With The Game Awards just a few hours away, it’s not outside the realm of possibility we’ll see the official reveal there.
