"On January 12, retro game archivist MrTalida uploaded once-deleted-but-now-recovered Project Apollo files that were found on an old hard drive. Included in the files, which were created between April 2009 and January 2010, are video clips of early gameplay and in-engine tests of Project Apollo, with many focused on how sound and music would work in the third-person Batman action game. It's interesting to see how much progress the team at Monolith made on the game over those 10 months. You can find all of them on the Internet Archive."
"Perhaps the biggest and coolest new information gleaned from these leaked files is gameplay footage of the Tumbler, aka Batman's tank-like Batmobile from the Dark Knight trilogy. In the leaked footage, you can see the Tumbler driving through what appears to be a large train yard while escaping police and destroying various objects and explosive barrels. In other words, a pretty standard-looking 2010-era vehicle section, the kind that would often appear in single-player AAA games around that time."
Recovered Project Apollo files created between April 2009 and January 2010 include video clips of early gameplay and in-engine tests focused on sound and music systems. The build shows third-person Batman action with traversal via gliding and grappling hook alongside Tumbler vehicle sections for open-world travel. Leaked footage reveals the Tumbler driving through a large train yard, evading police and destroying objects and explosive barrels, resembling typical 2010-era single-player vehicle sequences. The project progressed over roughly ten months of visible work and was canceled after about eighteen months of overall development. The recovered files are hosted on the Internet Archive.
