'Batman - The Telltale Series' can now be purchased as a retail Season Pass Disc.
The game - which is released as episodic downloads and licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive - is available as a physical disc from September 13 in North America for $29.99 and from September 16 in Europe for £29.99/34.99€ which includes the first five episodes in the season, and will then grant access to the subsequent four episodes as they become available for download via online updates.
The Season Pass Disc is available Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
Kevin Bruner, CEO and Co-Founder of Telltale Games, said: "Since premiering 'Batman - The Telltale Series' last month, we've been thrilled by the reception from both Batman fans new to Telltale, and those already familiar with our model for interactive storytelling. This week, we're happy to offer the game on a special disc at retailers worldwide, just in time for the gripping second episode launching September 20, which will influence the course of the season depending on the different paths players may take."
The second of five episodes in the season, 'Batman - The Telltale Series', is to continue with the release of 'Episode 2: Children of Arkham' digitally worldwide on PC from the Telltale Online Store, Steam, and other digital distribution services, on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 4, and on the Xbox Games Store for Xbox One. The premiere episode, Realm of Shadows, is also still available digitally and the instalment will also be available later this month for compatible iOS devices via the App Store, and for compatible Android-based devices via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.
The series also marks the first ever unique, local multiplayer options for a Telltale game with the all-new Crowd Play feature. Crowd Play allows game owners to invite a group of players to vote on story decisions and give feedback from their mobile devices using any web browser connected online when following along with the lead player on a main screen.
The feature is designed to allow 2-24 or more players to enjoy episodes together in their living rooms, and will also accommodate much larger crowds and audiences of over 1,000 at special upcoming live events in theatres organised by Telltale. Crowd Play allows for a new and instantly accessible way for players to enjoy Telltale entertainment together as a group, creating an experience that continues to break new ground in the space between games and interactive cinematic storytelling.
