Batman: Arkham Knight Has a New Date, Some Swanky Collector’s Editions Too

Once set to patrol the night as soon as October 14th, Rocksteady’s final chapter of the Arkham series ends how it began: with a delay. Now True Bat-lievers will get their chance to don the cowl next year on June 2nd, 2015.

If spending $60 bucks on a box and a disc just isn’t your style, there’s two special editions of the game coming to save the day.

Behold the Limited Edition:For $99.99, this edition includes:

• A Steelbook case
• An 80-page art book
• #0 of DC’s Batman: Arkham Knight comic
• 3 Batman Skins based on The New 52
• A Batman “Memorial Statue”

Then there’s the real deal. The Batmobile Edition:For $199.99, this bundle includes everything within the Limited Edition but swaps out the ominously titled Batman “Memorial Statue” for a Triforce sculpted replica of the Batmobile from the game.

In North America, both editions will only be made available on PS4 and Xbox One… So. That “Memorial Statue.” It gets me thinking that perhaps Arkham Knight is going to end the way The Dark Knight Rises should have. Unfortunately, we have a helluva wait until we find out.

Batman: Arkham City GOTY DLC Roundup Includes New ‘Harley’s Revenge’ Expansion

Bats is finally getting the respect his property deserves with three phenomenal films and two superhero genre defining games all within the last ten years.

Last year’s heavy hitter, and one of the first blockbusters to weigh down the tail-end of 2011, is getting a Game of the Year Edition that boasts a crowded, ugly cover yelling at you to play it (above) as well as every shred of extra DLC content made for the game – including the brand new “final” chapter of Arkham City entitled 'Harley’s Revenge.’

Arkham City GOTY releases for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on May 29th, you can watch the trailer hereabouts, and I’m betting you Bat-fanatics that haven’t parted with your original copy of AC can expect 'Harley’s Revenge’ for individual download right around the time the re-release drops.  No one has the scoop on the new DLC’s package, but if it’s being called the “final chatper,” chances are we may see either an epilogue to the game, a tie-in to the inevitable sequel (which we’ll call Arkham Galaxy), or all of the above.
