WB Games Montreal places potential announcement for Batman game for tomorrow [Updated]

Source code for the r3dakt3d website points to an extensive teaser campaign taking place over the course of this week, and may end in a video that will be unlocked for viewing on Friday 21st August. IGN’s Jordan Oloman, several parts of the source of the website contain references to radio numbers and codes, and one section seems to imply that there will be a code to enter every 24 hours in the morning. Entering that code successfully will show that you have been asked to return the next day for another hint.

Another section mentions a “video” in connection with the entry of Day 4, which may indicate that a trailer of some kind will be unlocked once the codes for each day have been entered. We’ll be back tomorrow to see if any of this is indeed the case.

Have a look at the code behind the #CourtOfOwls website https://t.co/htFxPpv67e and it looks like we’ll be unlocking the trailer in four days. Interesting! This suggests that we will get the full trailer on Friday 21st. pic.twitter.com/1MGLQz5wxe

WB Games Montreal is releasing, again, their new project – long rumored to be a Batman game that revolves around the Court of Owls storyline, and potentially called Gotham Knights – and it looks like we’re announcing or revealing some sort of will see tomorrow 18 August.

Fans have followed a new tease to a website called r3dakt3d.com, which currently includes the words, “We’ve been expecting you to be 8/18”, followed by a 24-hour countdown timer. The timer is set to end on 18 August at 8am Pacific / 11am Eastern / 4pm UK (that is 1AM AEST on 19 August).

The initial tease that led here saw the Batman: Arkham Origins developer link to a new Twitter account named r3dakt3d, who uploaded a short video (below) with a computer interface, with random background magnification that apparently shows three different combs as logos:

Of the three emblems shown, one certainly has an Owl – though not the same owl as seen in previous teases – while the others are farther away, making it difficult to figure out exactly what they are pictured.

It’s not the first time WB Montreal has placed us with mysterious symbols related to their new game – previously we saw a T-shirt with what appears to be a Court of Owls logo, and a series of logos that began to fill out a broader picture. Both of these teases also use prominently on the word “redacted” – the first in the tweet, and the seocnd in the URL.

Even if tomorrow ends anyway other place, we know we’ll be watching Game Game Montreal’s long-awaited project (alongside Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League) this Saturday at the DC FanDome event.
