Batman: Arkham Asylum Video Game Announced

Eidos and Warner Bros. have announced that a new Batman title, Arkham Asylum, is in development at Rocksteady Studios for the 360, PS3, and PC. Furthermore, the game is scheduled for release next year.

Players will take the role of the Caped Crusader in an action detective game. We can only assume this means puzzles and clues will be every bit as important as combat. This format seems to be quite different than what we expected for the next Batman game, but it work out nicely, especially considering Batman writer Paul Dini is penning the script.

Here’s what Eidos CEO Phil Rogers had to say of the new endeavor:

“In Batman: Arkham Asylum Eidos and Warner Bros. are building a true action adventure game experience worthy of gamers and fans. 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.”
