Warner Bros. is turning Batman’s noir detective season into a playable co-op experience: Batman: Caped Crusader – Chronicles is set to launch July 31 as an Amazon Luna-exclusive tie-in to Prime Video’s animated Batman Season 2. If you’re deciding whether to play or wait, the key details are clear—up to four players, 11 playable episodes, and investigations built around decoding evidence, interrogations, and cases tied to a roster of villains.
What’s new: a co-op detective game tied to Season 2
Announced during the opening day of San Diego Comic Con 2026, Warner Bros. revealed Batman: Caped Crusader – Chronicles, a co-op detective party game designed for one to four players. The title is scheduled to arrive on July 31, aligned with the premiere timing of the animated series’ second season.
The game is structured around 11 playable episodes. While each episode connects to elements of Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2, early materials reviewed in reporting suggest Chronicles is not built as a strict interactive retelling of every TV installment. Instead, it appears aimed at expanding the overall look and feel of the second season through detective-themed mini-games and co-op investigations.
Gameplay activities are centered on classic casework: decoding evidence, following leads, interrogating suspects, and working through crimes linked to multiple villains. The announcement also highlights a sizable villain gallery, including Scarecrow, Babyface, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Dollmaker, Lynx, Music Meister, and the Joker.
Who’s involved: co-op teams and returning voice cast
Chronicles supports one to four players, placing the group in Batman’s inner circle alongside a Gotham City Police Department task force working with Detective Renee Montoya. The game’s case structure is built for teamwork, with players taking part in investigative sequences and mini-game challenges tied to the show’s Season 2 themes.
The project also brings back key voice talent from the animated series. Hamish Linklater reprises Batman / Bruce Wayne, and Michelle C. Bonilla returns as Detective Renee Montoya. This reinforces the connection between the show and the game, while the overall narrative is positioned as its own 11-episode experience rather than a one-to-one conversion of the series’ 10 new TV episodes.
Where and when to play: Amazon Luna access on July 31
Batman: Caped Crusader – Chronicles will be available exclusively on Amazon Luna. It’s included with Amazon Prime at no additional cost through Luna Standard’s GameNight library, rather than being sold separately. Availability is tied to Luna access via the Luna app in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Luna support extends across multiple device types, including compatible Fire TV devices, Fire tablets, Samsung and LG smart TVs, and web browsers on PC, Mac, and Chromebooks, plus Android and iOS devices. Amazon has also announced Prime Video is becoming a Luna launcher and game-discovery interface on Fire TV in the U.S. and U.K., adding a Games tab for Prime members. For control, players can use either a conventional controller or a smartphone.
Season 2 of Batman: Caped Crusader is due to premiere on July 31, with all 10 episodes launching around midnight local time. Chronicles is expected to be playable at the same moment the second season begins.

Expert View
Chronicles looks like a smart fit for Batman: Caped Crusader’s second-season momentum—less about reenacting every episode beat-by-beat and more about turning the detective framework into co-op sessions. The biggest practical question for players is whether you prefer narrative adaptation or modular casework; based on the 11-episode, mini-game approach, this is built for the latter. If you’re already planning to watch Season 2, launching at the same time on Luna makes it an easy “play-and-watch” companion—assuming you’re comfortable committing to Amazon Luna as your platform.
