Nezrealizovaný Batman od Monolithu sa objavil v ďalších uniknutých materiáloch

Zatvorenie štúdia Monolith Productions minulý rok šokovalo hráčsku komunitu. Nedávno sa však objavili uniknuté súbory, ktoré odhaľujú prácu na neznámej Batman hre pre Warner Bros., ktorá nikdy neuzrela svetlo sveta.

Neznámy projekt, údajne zachytený na starom HDD štúdia, odhaľuje koncepty, prototypové videá, zvukové systémy a koncept arty vytvorené medzi aprílom 2009 a januárom 2010. Materiály zverejnil archivár a herný nadšenec MrTalida prostredníctvom Bluesky 13. januára a nahrávky sú dostupné aj cez Internet Archive.

Ukážky naznačujú, že hra mala vizuálny štýl blízky Nolanovým Batman filmom, čo vyvoláva teóriu, že išlo o samostatný projekt alebo potenciálny tie-in mimo série Arkham, ktorú v roku 2009 odštartovalo štúdio Rocksteady s Arkham Asylum. Projekt sa však nikdy nedostal za fázu experimentálnych prototypov a konceptov.

Most of these materials are from a series of internal-facing and Warner Bros.-facing pre-production milestone deliverables. Some of the very few files from an actual build are Bink video files. Here's a surviving video fragment of a cinematic: 3/9

A variety of early development videos demonstrate dynamic audio systems that would react to the player's situation and smoothly transition music. It's the sort of thing that makes a world of difference but we rarely consciously notice! 4/9

More early Project Apollo audio systems videos. Remember that these videos are from very early in development; this is from a pre-production phase in 2009 that long predates the more polished-looking video we saw leak out in 2024. 5/9

More early Project Apollo audio systems videos. This one shows how audio changes with Batman's vertical position. 6/9

Here's a series of videos showing various game mechanics at play, like completing a quest, knocking an enemy out, throwing smoke bombs, basic combat, and AI navigation. Again, this is very, very early stuff. 8/9

Lastly, here's a series of videos showing the progress Monolith had made on the tumbler batmobile sections. AFAIK, the previous leak didn't show any tumbler footage, so this may be our first peek. You can see how the feature progressed from Oct 2009, to Nov 2009, to Jan 2010. Enjoy the files! 9/9
