Athlon Games and Telltale Games appear to have revealed an announcement ahead of schedule.
According to a now-removed press release, Batman - The Telltale Series is receiving a noir-style visual makeover and graphical upgrade, and it is expected to be released on the Switch and multiple other platforms soon. This release – known as The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition – will be available for the price of $29.99. If you already own The Telltale series, it'll set you back $4.99 as DLC.
Here's what the CEO of Telltale had to say about this release and the deal it struck with Athlon:
We’re excited to be able to build and continue the legacy of an iconic Telltale Games franchise by launching The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition today. This is just the beginning in a much more expansive plan to build on our catalog of Telltale Games titles, which we hope to discuss in further detail in the coming months.

What if I only own one of the games? Can I still buy gor 4.99 or do I have to own both first?
Ok....but why? The TellTale Batman games don't really work as Noir storys given their more modern storytelling. Plus the games were made more around color as a visual storytelling point. So, all in all, it seems like a pointless edition that is not worth $5 at all. And at the very least it should have been a free update for those who already owned the games.
So it’s going to run even worse now right? Just lay this Telltale stuff to rest.
Huh, good thing I picked both games up for £4 each in the sale today.
I just picked the entire game up for less than the cost of the DLC alone during Black Friday lol
@klingki what game is that for your profile pic
I thought it was Batman Arkham for a second and got excited
@Stealthieone It's called Roof Rage. It's on the eShop if you want to check out more.
It's a great game, but it's a shame that we didn't get a physical edition of Season 2 instead of this...at least it went on a great sale.
I miiiiiiiiiight pick it up for the sake of my Batman fandom, but it's definitely not a priority.
Still a great game though!
Wasn't the company dead?
I what about the wolf is amongst us one and two for switch? That would have been a better announcement
Didn't the studio shut down? Anyway this should make the game more enjoyable to replay. I know the walking dead season 1 sure wasn't.
From what I understand, Telltale the brand still exists under new management (by another company, forgot the name) and any former employee can work for it as a freelancer.
Yeah.
I mean, I could see this working, if done right.
If it's not just a transparent way to re-release Telltale's library with texture mod packs.
@patbacknitro18 plenty of noir stories work in modern settings- under the silver lake, mullholland drive, brick, kiss kiss bang bang, Veronica Mars.... and future noir works too- Blade Runner.
