Gotham City Imposters - New Title From Monolith

Monolith are the original creators of the F.E.A.R series(made the first and the second one) and with Day 1 Studios handling development duties for F.E.A.R 3, many people wondered what was Monolith up to. Well folks, here you have it. Gotham City Imposters. It is said to be a unique downloadable multiplayer first person shooter set in the Batman’s universe. In the press release, they say it is an exaggerated take on first person shooters(is this Bulletsorm like in any way?) and about turning Gotham City upside down(that’ll make it hard for people to aim). I’m sure they don’t literally mean it. It’s a 4v4 multiplayer game where you play as an imposters, a customisable character(no you don’t play as Batman or Joker). You either play in Team Batman or Team Joker. Sounds completely out of whack! Press release below…
