Batman: Arkham Knight finally gets a launch date.
Rocksteady Games has revealed that Arkham Knight will be released for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and the PC on June 2, 2014. The game will be available in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, Steam, Target, Walmart and Newegg are retailing the standard version of the game for $59.99.
There are two limited edition bundles, the Limited Edition and the Batmobile Edition.
The Limited Edition, which will retail at $99.99, includes an 80 page artbook, issue zero of Batman: Arkham Knight comic book, three exclusive New 52 character skins, a Batman statue, and the game itself in a special Steelbook case.
The Batmobile Edition costs $199.99 and has the same items as the Limited Edition with one exception. Instead of a Batman statue, buyers will get a transforming Batmobile statue by Triforce. This version is only available for consoles too.
In Japan, the game will be a PS4 exclusive game, according to The Crew. This could be the case because the Xbox One did not sell as well as its Sony next-gen counterpart, PlayStationLifestyle suggests.
Arkham Knight was originally slated for a fall 2014 launch, but the release date got pushed back because Rocksteady felt they need more time to polish the game.
Guy Perkins, Rocksteady Studios marketing manager, told GameSpot:”We just want to make this the best experience that we can, and that takes time.”
“We feel that we have an absolutely awesome game in the works, and we want to make it as great as it possibly can be.
“If we didn’t give the team more time to do it, then we would be releasing something that we weren’t happy with.
“We want to make sure we’re absolutely nailing it 100 percent,” Perkins added.
