During The Game Awards 2015, Telltale Games revealed that it’s working on a new episodic Batman video game. The as yet untitled project will be launching sometime in 2016.
The initial video teaser is sparse on details, but does contain voiceovers of people talking about Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, Batman. The Batman symbol used at the end of the teaser is similar to that of DC Comics title The Dark Knight Returns, though continuity and timeline details are not stated.

At Telltale, we’ve been honored to bring our unique approach to interactive storytelling to some of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world, and we’re excited to announce that we’ll soon be exploring what it means to be Batman in an all-new series starting next year […] This iteration of Batman will give fans a first-hand opportunity 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.
