Console gamers will be licking their chops in anticipation of the release of the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham City later this week.

The game has stormed Metacritic and taken a 95/100 aggregate hostage.

There was previously no clarity on exactly when we could expect Batman: Arkham City to arrive on PC, but we did know it was scheduled for release sometime in November.

Today Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment confirmed that the game will become available for PC in exactly one month from today – 18 November.

The game was written in collaboration with Batman author and five-time Emmy Award winner, Paul Dini, whose credits include Lost season one and Batman: The Animated Series, and features the incredible voice talent of Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy.

Both reprise their roles as The Joker and Batman respectively.

Stana Katic of the popular series Castle joins the cast as the voice of Talia al Ghul.

Warner also plans to release the Nightwing Bundle Pack on 1 November, and the Robin Bundle Pack scheduled for release on 22 November.
