Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment announced Gotham City Impostors, an original download-only first-person shooter where players battle for control of an unhinged Gotham City overrun by impostors inspired by the DC Comics characters Batman and The Joker.
Developed by Monolith Productions, the game will be available in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360, Windows PC and PlayStation Network.
"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 where players pose as amateur vigilantes or villains, gamers will create their very own Bats and Jokerz characters using unprecedented customisation options including insane costumes, homebrewed gadgets and a wide range of traditional and imagined weapons.
The game will feature maps and modes inspired by DC Comics' Batman license.
