Telltale has announced that Batman’s first season will come to a close on December 13 with the launch of Episode 5, as the Children of Arkham’s plan ends.
The Batman series from Telltale is quickly approaching the conclusion of its first season, with the release of its fifth and final episode. Episode 5: City of Light will be released on December 13 across all supported platformes, according to an announcement made by Telltale earlier today. With the arrival of Episode 4 in late November, a mid-December launch for Episode 5 should satisfy players anxiously anticipating a conclusion to Batman’s action packed adventure.
In City of Light, the ark centered on the mysterious Children of Arkham will come to its realization, as Telltale describes in its official summary of the finale:
“In Episode 5, the leader of the Children of Arkham prepares to execute the final act of a plan to destroy the Wayne family name, and the people closest to you are in their path of vengeance. Can Batman’s ultimate secret be kept – his very identity – when it is causing chaos and death in Gotham? The fate of the Wayne family and of the city itself rests on your choices. What will you do? How far will you go? Which mask will you wear?”
Telltale also added that players of Episode 4 will find themselves in dramatically different places at the beginning of Episode 5, depending on their choices. How those branching paths lead into the season’s ending will be an interesting topic of discussion. It’s hard to picture separate endings in Batman compared to a game like The Walking Dead, where characters die constantly. Maybe each path in Batman gives a better picture of the mysteries of the season.
To celebrate the end of Batman’s first season, Telltale is going to provide a gift to those who haven’t tried the game so far. Episode one of Batman – The Telltale Series is currently available for free on PC, via Steam. This is becoming a very common event for Telltale, to gather a wider audience for a game as the season is coming to an end. It’s the best way to bring attention back to the game, especially for all those gamers who would rather buy the whole game once it’s all available instead of wait episode by episode.
Batman – The Telltale Series’s fifth episode, called City of Light, will launch on December 13 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS and Android platforms. Episode 1: Realm of Shadows is currently available for free via Steam.
