Admirers of Gotham City's caped crusader will be pleased to hear the next Batman story is arriving very soon on the Switch.
Telltale has announced Batman: The Enemy Within is flying on to Nintendo's latest platform on 2nd October:
The game first popped up on the Switch radar earlier this year when it received a rating by Germany's USK. In July, the same game for Switch was given an M rating by the ESRB.
The dark and gritty title originally landed in 2017 and is a sequel to Batman - The Telltale Series. This new entry is a five-part episodic series where players must make choices as both Bruce Wayne and Batman as he deals with the villains of Gotham.
Did you play the original Telltale Batman game on the Switch? Will you be picking up The Enemy Within when it arrives next month? Let us know in the comments.

so the joker is joining the telltale series.. eh!
Wonder if this one's going to be over priced just like the First One is on Switch? No way am I going to pay $40 for either of them on the Switch, when you can get them most of the time on sale on Ps4 or Xbox one for like $13-15 each. I got the first one on xbox one around Christmas the first year it came out for on $13 and then I got it free on PS4 with ps+ a few months ago.
Jim Carrey should play the Joker.
A real Arkham Batman game from PS3 era would be better than these choose your own adventure games.
@mowerdude I waited a few months and got the first one on switch for 25. Most publishers drop the price once it’s been out on the platform for a bit.
I played the first one on iOS. The experience was pretty poor but I loved the story! I can’t wait for the sequel on Switch!!
Looks like I better go back and finish the first one! lol
@Spectra
Borderlands telltale may have something to say about that
Played the first one on Switch and it messed up my save data and decision history, it was so buggy. Telltale promised a patch (I have their email to prove it) but never released it. So, much as I would love to play this game, I'm not falling for it again.
You forgot to mention how some people could probally find it problematic to Nintendo's family friendly image....
Anyhow, I have the first Batman game on Switch. Was fun. Until I found out the save function did not work in chapter 3. And I lost all choices I had made when I died there. So unlikely I will buy this unless I get it really cheap.
@Nincompoop I've been saying that for ages, we should be getting the Arkham series!
Would love to be able to play it on the go.
Not seeing physical release. Maybe it will come later?
The first one is selling on the German eShop für 50 € which is selling for 22,99 € regularly on steam. That would be a fine price and I'd pay up to 35 bucks for part 2. But sorry, not 50.
episodic gaming yuck city.
the artificial chunking of a story drivers me bananas... scene skipping, cutaways, those are fine. but chapters or episodes in a game? fuggin yanks me right out of the experience every time. reminds me that I'm sitting in a poang, holding a piece of plastic, instead of i don't know... being a billionaire with a moonlighting hobby
At first glance, I thought this was one of the Arkham action series and got super excited. I have missed those so would absolutely love those to make it to Switch. These Telltale games don't do much for me.
I was not impressed with the first installment. I will not be buying this one.
I will definitely get it.
Played the first and really enjoyed it, but there was a corrupt save or something that prevented me from viewing the summary breakdown at the end. I assume choices from the first game are supposed to carry over, so I'll probably have to play it again. TellTale, why so buggy?
I need this on a physical game card and I'll be happy! Been waiting a while for this game!
@Reignmaker "I assume choices from the first game are supposed to carry over, so I'll probably have to play it again."
There is another way, when starting an episode in any Season 2 of a Telltale Game, you can either, as you said, carry the save from the previous season, or you can use a choice generator (for example if you killed X person in the previous season, you launch the choice generator and then you just tell it that you killed X person.)
Every time I see a Batman announcement for the Switch, I keep hoping it's something from Rocksteady's Arkham series.
The story was good in the first one. I'll be getting this on ps4 at some point, as I got the first one free with Plus and want my decisions to carry over. Agree with the above comments though, the best Batman storytelling in games is Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Subjective opinion, but those games are amazing. And nobody beats Hamill as Joker.
@Nincompoop both Batman series let you be Batman in very different ways. They both have their merits and are both worth it IMO. The Arkham series is just a better “game” in the traditional sense.
Batman, Jurassic Park, Minecraft, Guardians of the Galaxy.
Are there any gigantic franchises left that Telltale can't touch?
Yes! Great news, I loved season 1! Here's hoping for a physical release.
@mowerdude To tell you the truth. These are the type of games I don't mind watching. I can't see myself playing it when I know the experience is mostly the same for everyone else. What we need are the Arkham series to Switch.
@nab1 Yes. The Arkham series focuses more on gameplay. The TellTale series are excellent, but they feel more like tv episodes.
The first one has so far been my best game on the switch. Cannot wait for this.
I liked the first one and am looking forward to this, but I hope it's less buggy than the first.
I played the full serie on pc. I really recommend it to all batman fans! And it has one of the best jokers of all time. If you are not a batman fans, than buy it if you like story rich games. Otherwise ignore it.
