Batman: Return to Arkham Remaster Collection Finally Announced
After a number of leaks beginning in March, the Batman: Return to Arkham remaster collection has been announced for release on July 29 priced at $49.99/£39.99.
The Warner Bros. announcement confirms that the collection comprises Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, along with all their associated DLC content and Game of the Year edition bonuses, and will be released on PS4 and Xbox One. No PC release has been discussed.
A trailer has also been released showing off the games' new looks, alongside some healthy Metacritic scores:
The announcement also reveals that porting studio Virtuos (previously responsible for the Final Fantasy X and Heavy Rain remasters) is moving both games onto Unreal Engine 4. Even Rocksteady's new-gen Arkham Knight was an Unreal Engine 3 project, making this a first for the series.
The upgrade will feature "improved graphics, as well as upgraded models, environments, lighting, effects and shaders".
The July 29 release date puts it just a week after the digital release of the R-rated Batman: the Killing Joke movie, which sees the Arkham games' Batman and Joker actors, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, reprise their roles.
