October 22, 2024

At long last, BATMAN: ARKHAM SHADOW is now available on Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S! The game is $49.99 USD if you already have the hardware, and we’re honored that the game comes bundled with new purchases of a Meta Quest 3 / 3S.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching our latest Q&A video collaboration with Batman Arkham Videos, which includes helpful information about the game and a fun cast member announcement along with messages from the entire cast of the game. And while you’re at it, please check out the game's fantastic launch film.

 

 

Back in 2020 when I got the call from Meta that they thought we'd be the perfect development team to approach Warner Bros. Interactive about creating a new, built-for-Meta Quest entry in the storied Arkham franchise, I remember my trepidation. I love Batman, I love Arkham, and I love the Oculus Studios crew at Meta, but could we do right about this franchise and community? Thankfully, my colleagues at Camouflaj were more than up for the challenge.

BATMAN: ARKHAM SHADOW is the result of years of passionate development work by the team at Camouflaj and strong collaborations with our partners at Warner Bros. Interactive, DC, internal Oculus Studios sister studios (Armature, Big Box VR, Downpour Interactive, Ready At Dawn, Sanzaru), and exterior teams including Bossa, Coatsink, Endeavor One and Polyarc.

We're incredibly proud of the game you’re about to play. From the game's faithful reimagining of the classic Arkham combat to its traversal mechanics to its cutting edge audio and visuals, the team pushed itself further than it's ever gone.

As the latest official entry in the Arkham franchise, we took great pains to ensure its world and story remained faithful to the previous games, while also doing something new and powerful. I hope you enjoy the game's hard hitting story, and that you're able to avoid big spoilers before you don the cowl (via Quest 3 or 3S, heh) and Become the Knight.

Although BATMAN: ARKHAM SHADOW is a strictly single player game, that doesn't mean this is the end of the game's development. The game is now in the hands of you all, and thus begins the next step in our journey: listening to you all and updating the game based on your feedback.

Incredibly, we have been granted the opportunity to dedicate the entire Camouflaj team to supporting BATMAN: ARKHAM SHADOW at least through the rest of this calendar year. This means our passionate team will be fully focused on updating the game—for free—in the form of new content (Character Viewer, additional Challenge Maps, additional story bits, etc.), quality of life improvements, and critical bug fixes. On that note, we are currently prepping our first update (v1.01) that addresses some issues reviewers hit when playing the game prior to release.

Even though v1.01 is almost out the door, we are already working on subsequent updates, and we'd very much like to hear where you'd like us to focus! The two best places to have your voice heard is by joining the Arkham Shadow channels on the official Meta Quest Community Discord.

 

On behalf of the Camouflaj crew, I want to thank you for your insight and support. We threw everything we had into this new, official entry into the beloved Arkham franchise. We sincerely hope you love what we've created, and look forward to continuing to work on the game based on your feedback!

Much Love,

Ryan Payton
