Warner Bros. Interactive Announces Gotham City Imposters Multiplayer Downloadable Title
Warner Bros. Interactive and DC Entertainment have today announced the release of Gotham City Imposters, a first person shooter set in the Batman Universe, which will be hitting Xbox LIVE, PC and the now up and running PlayStation Network.
F.E.A.R. development team Monolith Productions is behind the title, which will be a multiplayer affair whereby players can customise either members of Team Bats or the Jokerz with a variety of costumes, gadgets and weapons. The game was shown at a pre-E3 event today and it looks like the multiplayer will be 4v4, as it stands.
here’s some of the Press Release which can be found here:
“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 is a multiplayer game unlike any other, giving players the opportunity to rebel against conformity as they customize their own characters. Posing as amateur vigilantes or villains, gamers will create their very own Bats and Jokerz characters using unprecedented customization options including insane costumes, homebrewed gadgets and a wide range of traditional and imagined weapons.
The official site for Gotham City Impostors is live, though at the time of writing it gives away very little extra detail about the game. The Twitter account for the title did reveal that the first multiplayer map is going to be called “Amusement Mile” which is “home of the “Fun Hole” which sounds rather intriguing, to us.
No official release date or price at this time, sorry.
