The recent turmoil at Telltale Games completely halted the development of its upcoming games and episodes. Future projects like Stranger Things and a follow-up to The Wolf Among Us have been completely axed, and the final season of The Walking Dead has been cut short - with Telltale still hoping to work out a way to release the remaining episodes.
Somehow, Gotham City's caped crusader hasn't been impacted by these recent happenings. Prior to the mass layoffs at the company, Batman: The Enemy Within was confirmed for a release on the Switch eShop and is now available for £39.99 / $39.99. If you are interested in playing Batman's latest game, we advise you to download it from the eShop while it's still there.
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.

No.
I hate to be the guy asking this, because it irks me when people do, but any word if there'll be a physical release, given the circumstances? I don't mind digital, but the physical version was quickly discounted in amazon for the first game, and I'd rather have it physical if it's an option.
@nab1 Due to the recent majority studio closure at Telltale, a physical version is probably never happening.
We could always hope that Limited Run Games will be able to do a physical release of this game.
@BlueBlur101 Yeah, that's what I think too given the circumstances, but since it seems they had this game ready to go, I was just wondering whether there was official confirmation there wouldn't be one.
I guess a better question is whether there's a chance they could patch the inevitable issues this release will eventually have.
No one is going to release any update patches for these games, they better be perfectly bug free.
Telltale can go to hell
I liked the first game quite a bit. I'll go ahead and nabby nab it🤗
It really, really sucks that the ex-Telltale employees were treated so poorly and I hope that they win that class action lawsuit they are planning. That being said, I really enjoyed the first season of Batman and I bought the 2nd season on the eShop accordingly.
@nab1 Most physical TT games tend to require downloading most of the game anyway.
Just hope the thing runs at least decently. Not that I'm picking it up, not at that price, but for those that are and its not just the Telltales overlords trying to earn a quick buck on a broken port before running off into the sunset....
Are we just going to pretend there wasn't anything scummy going on before then?
(Not necessarily referring to the writer of the article)
Who even cares? There are so many awesome games coming out right now. Like Forza Horizon 4, Soul Calibur 6, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Call of Chultulu,....
It would be nice, if they'd bring Arkham Knight for Switch. But who needs those lame Telltale games?
The price is ridiculous. I will not pay 44,99€ for this one.
And where is the revenue going?
@nab1 Why should it irk you if someone is interested in asking for a physical version? It irks me that companies don't let folk know.
It’s a great game! I bought it on PS4 awhile back. Been meaning to replay the last two episodes of it to unlock the alternate side
Sorry but I ain't buyin a game from a company that treated their employees badly. If Telltale wants my support on finishing the Walking Dead and other games, then they better rehire the 250 workers and give them severance
I purchased the other Batman telltale (£13-physical) and it's still shrink-wrapped. My backlog is growing and the number of much better games is increasing.. this will be a pass until it's dirt cheap, should this really be £40?
@xpromisedx completely agree when this came out for ps4 it was nearly half that price
How much?? I bought the first and second Batman Telltales last week on Steam for £37.98 and they weren't even in a sale or bundle!
Not paying that kind of money for a digital game that won't get any support & when I got the first game for 9 dollars.
Definitely won't be buying this purely because of how Telltale have treated their workforce. We know for a fact that any revenue generated now won't be going to those people who've worked so hard on these games.
I can't see how anyone can support the scumbags running TT.
I want to play it, but if it ain't physical, it ain't happening at that price, unless it gets a going out of business sale at 90% off.
I picked this up immediately just in case there is an issue later where its removed from eshop
PSA: TellTale games are notoriously glitchy. This fact plus ZERO chance for support means buy at your own risk.
@nab1 I'm more concerned about Guardians Telltale and Seasons 2 and 3 of The Walking Dead on Switch at this point.
I would've also really liked to see The Wolf Among Us on Switch as well
There you have it the last release from what's left of Telltale on the Switch. A physical version seems very unlikely now. This likely was just pushed out the door as it's ready to go. I would not expect it to receive any patches......
I know that it was probably canceled as well, but I am still really hoping for TT Guardians of the Galaxy to make it to Switch like they announced it would be.
@nab1 I doubt it, but it would be nice. I will most likely download it as I have the first one on Switch too (physical cart).
I love telltale games. Got everyone that made it to PS Vita. Wolf Among Us, Walking Dead Season 1,2 are amazing. Great games for portable play.
Love Batman 1 on the switch. I definitely buying Batman 2 when my next pay check arrives.
Telltale will leave a hole in my gaming life. I hope something can rise from the ashes.
I do have the one Batman Switch games retail so that’s a keeper at least! As always digital continues to be the unknown.
