Japan-based videogame publisher Kemco has announced new U.S. release dates for
Batman: Dark Tomorrow, the first Batman video game
based on the DC Comics epic comic book series. Dark Tomorrow, slated for the Nintendo
GameCube, PlayStation2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox video game system
from Microsoft, will ship in Q1, 2003.

“We made the decision to push the game back until Q1 in order to
ensure that we are publishing the best Batman video game to date,”
said Glenn Halseth, vice president of sales and marketing of Kemco. . .

Dark Tomorrow takes a different twist on the franchise from previous Batman
video games. Focusing on the detective elements, the world of the Dark Knight
is darker, grittier and offers gamers a more stealth-based Batman game, rather
than a button-mashing marathon. Players encounter more than 90 enemies in Batman:
Dark Tomorrow, some of which have yet to be included in any Batman game to date.
