Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC, and Rocksteady have released the firstBatman Arkham VRtrailer. The game will be available exclusively for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system with PlayStation VR in October 2016. Per the press release, here’s the brief synopsis for the game:
Batman: Arkham VR immerses players into the Dark Knight’s universe as they experience Gotham City through the eyes of the World’s Greatest Detective. Delving deep into an all-new Batman: Arkham mystery, those who enter this virtual reality world must think like Batman and utilize his legendary gadgets to unravel a plot that threatens the lives of his closest allies.
This is one of those titles that make me seriously consider getting a PlayStation VR. Then I remember that I barely play my PS4 and I’m okay waiting it out, especially since I thoughtBatman: Arkham Knightwas a massive disappointment.
