If your little bat-heart was crushed by last week’s news that Batman: Arkham City’s PC launch has been pushed back to November, you might find some comfort in knowing that the wait will be totally worth it.

That’s according to developer Rocksteady, although I’d guess that they kind of have to say something like this, because saying ‘it won’t be worth the wait’ wouldn’t really work.

Anyway, it turns out the PC release has been delayed so that the developers can make the game even better.

“If you do have a super powerful high-end PC, you are going to see higher detail textures,” game director Sefton Hill told Eurogamer. “You are going to see a more richly realised world. But having said that, given there are so many console gamers in there, we’re always fine-tuning to get the game to run super smooth on Xbox and PS3. The console versions look great as well.”

“All of the source textures and assets are done at a very, very high res and we make them work on all the different SKUs. People will really love the PC version when it comes out.”

“The wait will definitely be worth it. The PC version has just been pushed back, but it’s only by a couple of weeks, so hopefully no-one will be too upset about it. We’re working as hard as we can to get it out as soon as we can.”

Batman: Arkham City launches on console on 21 October, and on PC on an as yet unconfirmed date in November.
