While no reason has been given as to why, Gotham City Imposters – the unusual Team
Fortress-esc shooter from Fear developer Monolith has been pushed to
next month.
The game was slated for release on PC, Xbox Live and PlayStation Network later
this month. In case you haven’t seen or
heard of it, the game is set in the Batman universe, though despite Monolith Studios
being tied to the same publisher (Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment) Gotham City Imposters shares no links with Arkham City besides
the obvious Batman context. The title
is a regular old first person shooter focused on co-operative team play similar
to Team Fortress 2, but with its own unique set of modes and mechanics, based off
the footage I’ve seen and the people I’ve talked to who managed to get in the
beta. It also boasts a creative cast of strange looking characters who are either aligned with Batman or the Joker.
No specific date for Imposters has been set, but we can now expect it to show up
some time in February.
