Canceled 'Batman' Video Game Footage Leaks, Revealing Open World Stealth Gameplay and Nemesis System Precursor
-
Uncovered gameplay and assets leaked from a canceled Batman video game, "Project Apollo", set in the Nolanverse that was in development at Monolith Productions in the early 2010s.
-
Gameplay shows Batman gliding, using a proto-Detective Vision, stealth takedowns, an early UI/menu system, and more in the open world title.
-
The game's Nemesis system for generating unique villains was a precursor to the system used in Monolith's eventual Shadow of Mordor game.
-
The game was canceled after 18 months when Christopher Nolan declined to approve it for use of his Batman universe, leading Monolith to pivot to Lord of the Rings.
-
This isn't the first we've heard of Project Apollo over the years, but the leaked gameplay itself is brand new.
