Watch the tense new trailer for Batman: Arkham Shadow to learn about the story of this upcoming VR action game. The trailer dives into the chaos in Gotham City brought on by the villain, the Rat King. Batman: Arkham Shadow will be available on Meta Quest 3 in Fall 2024.
It’s the Fourth of July, and Gotham City is besieged by a new threat: the mysterious Rat King and his cultish devotees. Public officials have been abducted, including Batman associates Commissioner Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent. The Rats have pledged to execute them in one week’s time for “crimes committed against the people of Gotham City.”
As widespread rioting engulfs the city, Batman races to prevent this so-called “Day of Wrath,” but it all goes wrong.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is set between the events of Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum, and features the origins of iconic characters like The Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, and more, as Batman grapples with the contradiction at the core of his identity—the use of force in pursuit of peace.
