The second season of Telltale's
Batman: The Enemy Within is coming to a close on March 27 with the release of its finale episode
Same Stitch. And the studio is holding nothing back as it is easily the developer's most ambitious episode to date.
In typical Telltale fashion,
Same Stitch takes into account all of your decisions and choices made throughout the season.
"What would you choose: a friend whose unhinged approach to justice turns your allies against you, or a sworn enemy who will stop at nothing to see you suffer as your city burns? Based on the relationship you've built with John Doe, you'll see one of two very different stories play out. So what'll it be, Bruce: friend...or foe?"
The choices you have made will ultimately determine which story - and which version of The Joker - you'll see in the finale.
"Same Stitch features two totally separate takes on the fully evolved John Doe: one a ruthless villain that hews closer to the classic Clown Prince of Crime and the other an unpredictable vigilante that's unlike any other portrayal of DC's iconic character."
Described as Telltale's
"branchiest" episode ever,
Same Stitch delivers three and a half hours worth of content, spread across two completely distinct storylines
"that share, at most, only three overlapping scenes." The overall script for the episode is actually larger than Christopher Nolan's entire
Dark Knight trilogy, with over 4,500 lines of dialogue divided among 38 characters.
"Without exaggeration, Same Stitch is the most ambitious piece of content Telltale has ever produced," said Season Lead Writer James Windeler. "We had to adjust our usual development process to accommodate the added scope, but it was super important to us to honor players' choices, whether they chose to befriend John or not. We had to deliver on the season's central promise of allowing players to craft their own Joker."
Batman: The Enemy Within - Same Stitch will be available on Tuesday, March 27 for Xbox One, PS4, PC/Mac, and mobile. A 'Season Pass Disc' containing all five episodes in the season is available for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
