BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT Release Date and Collectors Editions Revealed

By John McCubbin on Monday, September 8th, 2014

Having originally been slated for an October 14th release date, fans must have been disappointed when Batman: Arkham Knight was pushed back to 2015. I know I was. Luckily however Rocksteady and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have finally given us a release date, June 2nd 2015. The game is set to be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with there also being two different collectors editions, Batman: Arkham Knight Limited Edition, and Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition. Both editions will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, with the Limited Edition also being available on PC, but only in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Batman: Arkham Knight Limited Edition will come in a Limited Edition Steelbook, with the package containing a 80 page art book, limited edition DC Comics Batman: Arkham Knight #0 comic book, three unique character skins from the New 52, and a Batman memorial statue. This edition is available for €99.99 (Europe) and £74.99 (UK) on PC and $99.99 (North America), €119.99 (Europe) and £89.99 (UK) on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition will include the exact same as the Limited Edition, but instead of the Batman memorial statue, you get a transformable Batmobile statue produced by Triforce. This edition is available for $199.99 (North America), €199.99 (Europe) and £169.99 (UK), though will only be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. So what are your thoughts on the new release date, and Batman: Arkham Knight in general? I know I for one am eager for this to be released, as though I don’t expect it to surpass the awesomeness that was Batman: Arkham City, I have every faith that it’ll beat the slightly disappointing performance of Batman: Arkham Origins. As for these collectors editions, these look a thing of beauty, and I know if I have the extra cash I’ll be getting one or another. Anyway that’s enough from me, what are you, my fellow fanboys thoughts?
