Warner Bros. has released the first details and screenshot of their upcoming download-only Batman-inspired first-person shooter, Gotham City Impostors. In development at Monolith Productions, the game pits players in a battle for control of a Gotham City overrun by imposters inspired by Batman and The Joker.
“Gotham City Impostors blows apart expectations for superhero games with an exaggerated take on first person shooters, set in a part of the DC Universe players have never seen before,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Monolith is creating a game that turns Gotham City upside down and we think fans are going to have a blast with this creative twist on multiplayer heroism and anti-heroism as they play up the classic rivalry between Batman and The Joker.”
Gotham City Impostors allows players to customize their own Batman or Joker-esque characters and take them online to duke it out in multiplayer. It promises “unprecedented customization options including insane costumes, homebrewed gadgets and a wide range of traditional and imagined weapons.” Its maps and modes will be inspired by the Batman license.
