Gotham City Impostors announced

Warner Bros. has announced a new download only First Person super-hero game developed by Monolith Productions and set in Gotham City (duh) where you battle impostors inspired by DC Comics Batman and The Joker.  I guess the title really does say it all then.

The game will be available in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation Network, but a release date is still to be confirmed.

“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 unlike any other, giving players the opportunity to rebel against conformity as they customise their own characters.  Posing 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.
