From the studio behind Iron Man VR and Republique

Good news! There’s a new Batman: Arkham game on the way that’s notSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. (Potentially) not-so-good news! It’s avirtual reality gamethat you’ll only be able to play if you own a Meta Quest 3. Hmm.

Like Arkham VR, Batman: Arkham Shadow will be completely exclusive to virtual reality. And not only exclusive to VR, but exclusive to one VR headset in particular: theFacebook-made Meta Quest 3.

Behind the upcoming game are developers Camouflaj, known for Iron Man VR and stealth-action gameRepublique- which started as a non-VR game, before later making the jump over - whodescribedit as their biggest project yet. The game is apparently “being crafted to be the ultimate VR game and take full advantage of Meta Quest 3”, with Camouflaj saying it’ll be “a distinctly Arkham-feeling game but done in a way that leverages the immersive magic only VR can provide”.

Even so, Arkham Shadow will still be considered canon in the universe established by the likes of Asylum, City and Knight - and to which series creators Rocksteady’s Kill the Justice League serves as the latest chapter - with the studio promising they are “committed to building upon the beloved foundation laid by the legendary team at Rocksteady, and driven to do it justice”.
