Summer Game Fest Leaks pt. 2

I have a bit more now to go off of since I just received some more information directly from WB Games Montréal. For those asking about the name of the Batman game, no, I wasn't told what it was when I did my early access playtest (keep in mind rather than visiting a studio we are working/playing from home now). Anyway, I was told the title now in a new press release email, sent out to those given the playtest to help complete these early access preview articles. No, it does not have Arkham in it. It does to no one's surprise have Batman in it though. Followed by a really badass subtitle which I think it's worth saving for Tuesday :). Which by the way, still seems to be the announcement date. If not then, then I doubt any later then the end of the week. I don't get to know yet when my article is going live. Plus, I'm still finishing it up.

As for platforms, the info I initially got was that the game was releasing on Steam, Xbox Series X, and PS5. Plus, it said Xbox Smart Delivery. Which, admittedly I did not research at the time until later writing my article again. This presumably means that the game will also release on Xbox One. I saw nothing on PS4, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised. I apologize for wording it as "next-gen exclusive" as I was paraphrasing the info I just listed. Anyway...time for more leaks!
It will release similarly to AC Valhalla; being advertised as a next-gen launch title, but with this new press info dump it appears it also will launch in autumn of this year on current-gen (once again I'm just assuming PS4 is included in this) as well before the holiday season on Xbox Series X and PS5.
- The game will include a longer campaign this time around, clocking in for around 20~30 hours of story content.
- Batman himself as a new /sinister/ look now, as this game maintains the dark tone, but with an even more personal story to the Waynes (Court of Owls involved) that they claim to be "quite emotional and grim".
- Nightwing is playable.

good stuff, where is the first leak

...

Op who's the voice actor for it and is it coming this year?

Any more leaks?

No clue on voice actor actually sorry. But it seems to have reboot vibes so I'd presume mostly new ones. I do know though that Mark Hamill won't be Joker again, unfortunately.
Yes, it will release this year.

Any other leaks? What type of vehicle will be present in the game? Will there be a real boss battle instead of bat tanks boss fight.

Yessir. I didn't have space in the above leak unfortunately and I wanted to keep it focused on Batman. But, I do know of another game which will be announced in June (maybe July): a PS5 and PC exclusive. Open-World RPG sequel which introduces co-op to the series. I'll let people speculate on that one a bit and talk more about it later this week. Bonus hint: Jurassic Park.

Also, a new hero-based 500 player FPS Battle Royale game from a new yet to be revealed indie studio adopted by...you guessed it...Microsoft. Launching with a whopping 80+ heroes. In this unique take on the genre, players instantly die to the "zone"/"storm" which in this case is a ring of fire, so staying in the safe area is super important--running away as the zone chases just behind you feels epic and hilarious with friends especially. The playtests I've been in have been lower player count tho for now. At launch, as I said, it's planned to have 500 players. Next-gen and PC only, Summer 2021 release. The character I played as was codenamed 'Zeke' at the time, he sported a nice fur coat and used a golden engraved cane, with a diamond gem sitting at the top, as his main melee weapon. He was riches/money/jewels/gold-themed, and from his personality it doesn't seem he got his wealth in a legitimate way. My favorite ability of his allowed him to throw his cane, which he could then either recall or teleport to. Super cool character. My coworker, who playtested with me, played as a character codenamed Rojj, who was a cyborg Viking who had luminous pink and teal tattoos which gave him bright and powerful melee capabilities. My personal favorite weapon I used, by the way, was the revolver, it felt super familiar and snappy/clicky. The map we played on is huge by the way. Like fucking massive, but sadly our playtest only explored the northeastern part which was like a futuristic Japan-town type area that had actual NPCs roaming around. Killing them raised your Bounty Level.

Got anything on Test Drive Unlimited 3?

Batmobile and Batcycle both useable in the open world once unlocked. Batplane flyable but only in certain points of the story.
Nightwing can be played in the open world and switched to at any time. Batgirl too, but later on in the game.
Black Mask in this story is a villain but also your ally in an odd way.
