Eidos and Warner Bros. on behalf of DC Comics announced today the latest game in the Batman universe, Batman: Arkham Asylum, a dark, action game for Xbox 360, PS3 and Games for Windows in 2009.
In Batman: Arkham Asylum , developed by Rocksteady Studios, the player assumes the role of Batman as he delivers The Joker to Arkham Asylum. Unfortunately for Batman, the imprisoned super-villains have set a trap and thus begins the game. The game's original script was penned by Emmy Award-winning Batman writer Paul Dini, so don't worry too much about the story not holding up to Batman standards.
“In Batman: Arkham Asylum Eidos and Warner Bros. are building a true action adventure game experience worthy of gamers and fans,” said Phil Rogers, CEO of Eidos Interactive. “Players become Batman, like he has never been seen before in a video game, as he fights through intense circumstances in Arkham Asylum utilizing his intuitive detective skills and aggressive melee attacks.”
“Batman: Arkham Asylum offers players the chance to battle Gotham’s worst villains with Batman’s physical and psychological strength in a graphically distinct and story-driven game,” said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “We look forward to working with Eidos on expanding DC Comics’ world-renowned character Batman in the game space with a noticeably different feature set in an incredibly dark interactive environment.”
