Creating a little buzz today, Eidos Interactive and Warner Bros have officially announced the development of a new Action-Adventure title called Batman: Arkham Asylum. Due out in 2009, the game will feature a mix of action and puzzle solving elements, along with a "dark" artistic style and an original script penned by Emmy Award-winning Batman writer Paul Dini. Here's a little snippet from the press release:
"In Batman: Arkham Asylum Eidos and Warner Bros. are building a true action adventure game experience worthy of gamers and fans," said Phil Rogers, CEO of Eidos Interactive. "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."
The developer's website is currently counting down something Batman related. Maybe a teaser trailer? I can only hope!
