The episode will be downloadable on PC and Mac via the Telltale Online Store, Steam and some other digital services. Surprisingly, even though Telltale previously announced that it was embracing the Universal Windows Platform and bringing its gaming library to Windows 10, the company has not specifically mentioned support for the platform.
Other platforms include the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 and 4, as well as the Xbox Games Store for Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Compatible iOS devices will be able to download the game via the App Store, as will be compatible Android devices, through the Google Play Store and the Amazon Appstore. Contrary to previous claims, Windows phone devices aren't mentioned among smartphones as well.
The company has also revealed the gameplay trailer for Batman - The Telltale series, and as expected, it will follow the same episodic choose-your-own-adventure format, similar to the company's previous games such as The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and Minecraft: Story Mode. Players will be able to play as both Batman and Bruce Wayne, with moral decisions and tough choices being a core aspect of the gameplay. You can view the trailer below:

The aforementioned voice actors have performed in various games, movies and TV shows including Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, BioShock Infinite, Gears of War 4, The Devil's Advocate and more.
