Batman: The Telltale Series gets new graphical style with the launch of the Shadows Edition
The Dark Knight is getting a little darker as we head into 2020.
That’s because the resurrected Telltale Games has partnered with Athlon Games to launch Batman: The Telltale Series – Shadows Edition for multiple platforms. Available to download for the PC and Xbox One today (and coming to the PS4 on December 20 and the Switch in the near future), the compilation includes both Batman: The Telltale Series and Batman: The Enemy Within, as well as a brand new noir-style visual filter known as Shadows Mode, which you can see for yourself in the trailer embedded above.
“We’re excited to be able to build and continue the legacy of an iconic Telltale Games franchise by launching Batman: The Telltale Series – Shadows Edition,” said Brian Waddle, the Chief Revenue Officer at Telltale Games. “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.”
Batman: The Telltale Series – Shadows Edition will be priced at $29.99, but Batfans who already own the games can purchase the Shadows Mode filter as downloadable content for $4.99.

Super Mario Party, Disgaea 1 Complete, Mark of the Ninja: Remastered, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week
It’s party time for Switch owners as the consolemaker will add Super Mario Party to the Nintendo eShop this week. Featuring the returning of Board Game Mode, as well an online minigame mode known as Mariothon, Super Mario Party will be available to download beginning October 5.
Also set to launch this week for the Switch are a pair of remastered re-releases. NIS America will celebrate the 15th anniversary of their flagship strategy RPG by bringing Disgaea 1 Complete to the Switch on Tuesday, October 9. And Klei Entertainment will bring Mark of the Ninja: Remastered, an enhanced and updated version of their side-scrolling stealth game, to the Nintendo eShop on the same date.
Finally this week, though Telltale Games remains embroiled in a “majority studio closure,” the developer managed to complete Batman: The Enemy Within for release on the Switch.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, The King of Fighters 2001, The Midnight Sanctuary, and more) after the break. (more…)

MLB The Show 18, Far Cry 5, The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2, more coming to PS Store this week
A fairly decent-sized batch of new games will be available to download through the PlayStation Store this week.
With Opening Day less than 24 hours away, Sony has launched MLB The Show 18 exclusively for the PS4. Developer Sony San Diego has added a huge number of new Legends to the the baseball sim, as well as an expanded Road to the Show mode, and a revamped Hitting Engine. There aren’t any Major League teams in Montana, and that’s probably just as well, because PS4 players will also be able to win back the fictional Hope County from a doomsday cult in Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5 this week.
JRPG fans will find multiple new games on the PlayStation Store this week including The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 from NIS America and Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings (the finale of the Mysterious saga) from Bandai Namco. Things with wheels are also represented in this week’s update thanks to the launch of THQ Nordic’s MX Vs ATV: All Out and Atari’s RollerCoaster Tycoon: Joyride. And I’m not sure if it has wheels, but Llamasoft brings the tube shooter back to the PS4 in Tempest 4000.
Finally, Telltale will bring Batman: The Enemy Within to a close with Episode 5: Same Stitch.

Telltale’s latest Batman: The Enemy Within trailer offers a season recap ahead of the final episode’s March 27 launch
Telltale Games will close the book on Batman: The Enemy Within in a few weeks, but first they wanted to give their fans a look back at the season so far in a new trailer. Naturally, this trailer is chock full of spoilers, so don’t watch it if you’re not completely caught up with Batman: The Enemy Within.
Since the complete second season will soon be available for download, we’re excited to share the official full season trailer for Batman: The Enemy Within, the five-part episodic game series that continues Telltale’s unique take on the World’s Greatest Detective. This trailer recaps the events of the entire season but focuses primarily on the relationship players built with former Arkham Asylum inmate John Doe, a relationship that will soon culminate in the birth of The Joker.
Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 5: Same Stitch will be available to download for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile devices on March 27.
Complete The Joker’s origin story in Batman: The Enemy Within’s finale on March 27
“Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another… if I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!”
— The Joker, The Killing Joke
Batman fans will get the chance to rewrite The Joker’s origin story in the finale of Telltale’s Batman: The Enemy Within on March 27. Read no further if you’re not caught up, but Episode 5: Same Stitch will take the character of “John Doe” closer to his destiny or in a completely new direction (barring an Elseworlds adventure or two):
“What would you choose: a friend whose unhinged approach to justice turns your allies against you, or a sworn enemy who will stop at nothing to see you suffer as your city burns? Based on the relationship you’ve built with John Doe, you’ll see one of two very different stories play out. So what’ll it be, Bruce: friend… or foe?”
As the description indicates, the choices players have made over the course of the season will determine which story — and which version of The Joker — they’ll see in the finale. Same Stitch features two totally separate takes on the fully evolved John Doe: one a ruthless villain that hews closer to the classic Clown Prince of Crime and the other an unpredictable vigilante that’s unlike any other portrayal of DC’s iconic character.
According to Telltale, Episode 5: Same Stitch is the “branchiest” episode they’ve ever created. By taking earlier choices into account, the epiosde includes more than 4,500 possible lines of dialogue divided among 38 characters.
“Without exaggeration, Same Stitch is the most ambitious piece of content Telltale has ever produced,” said James Windeler, the Lead Writer of Batman: The Enemy Within. “We had to adjust our usual development process to accommodate the added scope, but it was super important to us to honor players’ choices, whether they chose to befriend John or not. We had to deliver on the season’s central promise of allowing players to craft their own Joker.”
Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 5: Same Stitch will be available for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile devices. You can spy a handful of new screenshots from the finale at Telltale’s official website.

See the first trailer for Batman: The Enemy Within’s fourth episode right here
Bruce Wayne and The Joker will cross paths again next week in Episode 4: What Ails You, Telltale’s next entry in Batman: The Enemy Within‘s story. Today, the developer released a new trailer for Episode 4, but I’d skip it if you’re not caught up with the game’s earlier episodes:
When the Pact puts its plan into motion, Bruce’s cover is finally blown, and as his web of lies unravels, new questions emerge: When and how will the Pact regroup? What’s truly motivating Amanda Waller and the Agency? And perhaps most importantly, how will John Doe handle the truth about his buddy Bruce? With another showdown brewing, the clown prince of crime may finally earn his crown…
Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 4: What Ails You will be available to download for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile devices on Tuesday, January 23.
