'Batman: Return to Arkham' (ALL) Delayed Until Further Notice

by Rainier on June 28, 2016 @ 5:06 a.m. PDT

Batman: Return to Arkham bundles Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City in one package, including all DLCS, visually optimized for current generation consoles.

Batman: Return to Arkham bundles Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, two of the most critically acclaimed videogames on the last PS4 and Xbox One using Unreal Engine 4, a first for the award winning Batman: Arkham series.  Remastered by Virtuos, this set offers fans a chance to play the first two Batman: Arkham titles including all Game of the Year edition bonus and downloadable content from both games, now with improved graphics, as well as upgraded models, environments, lighting, effects and shaders.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is where it all began. Originally developed by Rocksteady Studios and released in 2009, the game pushed the envelope for action, adventure and super hero games and exposed players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure taking them to the depths of Arkham Asylum.  Featuring an original story, gamers can move in the shadows, instill fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains, including Harley Quinn, Bane, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow, who have taken over the asylum.

Batman: Arkham City is Rocksteady Studios’ 2011 follow-up to Batman: Arkham Asylum.  The game builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring through the expansive Arkham City– the maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.  Featuring an incredible Rogues Gallery of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals including Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze and many others, the game allows players to experience what it feels like to be The Dark Knight and deliver justice to those confined within Arkham City.

Batman: Return to Arkham will be available for a suggested retail price of $49.99/€49.99/£39.99.

Announced earlier this year, WB Games has already revealed that it will not be meeting it's July release date, and has postponed the game citing the need for more time to polish the game. No further details or new releawe date/time frame were provided.

After reviewing the progress of the project, the team at WB Games has decided to delay the release of Batman: Return to Arkham to give the team at Virtuous Games additional time to deliver a polished Batman Arkham game experience.  We do not have a release date yet and will be sure to communicate that once we are sure the game will be ready.   We know this is disappointing news, but we feel the extra time will allow the team to create the best gaming experience for our fans.  

In order to keep conversations around this topic in one place, please keep any discussions regarding this news in this thread.  All other posts regarding the release delay will be locked and directed to this post.
