New Batman Game Has A Nemesis System And Multiple Factions

WB Games Montreal’s upcoming Batman title has to be one of the most heavily leaked games in recent memory. On top of relentless teases by the developers themselves, various insiders and leakers have also spoken about plenty of details on the game. Over on Twitter, @TheComixKid has actively been doing the same for some time now, and recently, he shared some more information on the game.

According to him, the upcoming Batman game will have multiple members of the Bat-family playable (which is something that earlier reports have said as well), and will also have a Nemesis system similar to Shadow of Mordor and its sequel. There will be multiple factions in the game, with GCPD – who are also apparently hunting Batman – being one of them. The main antagonists will be the Court of Owls though (which is one of the most commonly leaked details from the game), while the story will have connections to previous Arkham titles.

There being multiple factions in the game is something that WB Games Montreal’s teases have potentially hinted at, while GCPD being one of them falls in line with the whole “Capture the Knight” motif- perhaps the Court of Owls are controlling these factions from the shadows. Additionally, the Bat-family being playable isn’t only something that’s been leaked before, but also something that makes sense in context of what is almost certainly the game’s name- Gotham Knights.

Of course, this is unverified information, so take this with a grain of salt for now. A recent report said that Gotham Knights (and Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game) will be revealed in August. Stay tuned for more details.

Just a reminder here is what I heard about the new Batman game from someone who worked on it in the beginning

-Bat-family playable
-multiple factions n a nemesis system that includes GCPD
-Owls were the main antagonist
-connections to other games
