Telltale To Debut Anticipated ‘Batman’ Title At SXSW!

Briefly: Telltale shocked the world back in December by showing off a mysterious trailer for a yet untitled ‘Batman’ game.

Since then we’ve been waiting, wishing, and anticipating any word from Telltale on the title, because it’s a freaking Telltale Batman game.

Here’s the full announcement, straight from Telltale Games:

Each year, Telltale has been excited to join artists, musicians, filmmakers, technologists, and storytellers from around the world in Austin, TX for the annual South by Southwest festival. Featuring keynote conversations with guests ranging from the co-founders of YouTube, to the President of the United States , this unique convergence of art and technology has grown each and every year for 30 years. This year, video games are a bigger part of the show than ever before at the SXSW Gaming Expo, which is FREE and open to the public!

 

On March 18th, Telltale is heading out to Austin for the show where we’ll be discussing the very first details of our upcoming series based on BATMAN for the first time! Be one of the first in the know on our next episodic series as Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller interviews our team to dive deeper into the complex life and mind of Bruce Wayne, the duality of his own identity, and the struggle of responsibility in saving a city overcome with corruption and villainy.

 

We’re excited to talk some more about the series and how development at Telltale can often work quite unlike most other game developers out there. In case you missed it, just this week Telltale CEO Kevin Bruner spoke with Kotaku discussing the future of the studio, hinting just a bit about what’s in store for our new series, simply saying, “It’s not like any other Batman game out there.”

 

Not going to be in Austin for the show? We’ve got you covered. The whole panel will be streamed LIVE right from the heart of Texas. Catch it here on Twitch: twitch.tv/sxswgaming

 

Remember, admission to the SXSW Gaming Expo portion of the festival is FREE and does not require a badge. So whether it’s in person or online, do join us for what promises to be an exciting first insight into the series!

For those lucky enough to be headed to SXSW, the Batman: Telltale Unmasked With Greg Miller will run on March 18th from 4:30-5:15PM in Ballroom C.

I’ll be streaming online, and urinating with excitement. What do you hope to see?
