Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced that Batman: Arkham Knight will launch for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on June 2, 2015. The game was expected to be released this fall, but Warner Bros. delayed it to next year right before E3.
Back then, developer Rocksteady Studios said it would use the extra development time to ensure the final product is 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," Rocksteady said at the time. "We want to make sure we're absolutely nailing it 100 percent."
Along with the news of the release date, Warner Bros. announced two Batman: Arkham Knight collector's editions, the contents of which are listed below, courtesy of Warner Bros.
