Batman is back!
It's been awhile since Warner Bros. removed the PC port of the game from the market about four months ago due to low sales.
The real problem, however, wasn't low sales. The game was just plain glitchy. Glitchy games don't sell too well even if they bear the Batman brand. Gamers and especially fans expect a higher quality game bearing the Batman name and Warner Bros. tripped it up.
Spoiler alert (if it wasn't already obvious), Arkham Asylum is a much, much better Batman game than Arkham Knight. Besides the broken PC port of the game, Arkham Knight forgets it's about Batman when there are so many meaningless side missions, illogical plot twists, and way too much forced vehicular action. Really, the Batmobile is almost in every level of the game that its become more tedious than fun. Imagine, the Batmobile boring? Rocksteady should've even have released this game.
Warner Bros., for their part, knew they messed up and are ready for take two on Batman: Arkham Knight for PC.
"We want to give particular thanks to the members of the PC community who took the time to give us clear, detailed feedback and bug reporting," Warner Bros. said. "Now, get out there and Be The Batman!"
They did take their sweet time to make it happen though.
Nonetheless, "Be The Batman" gamers will be starting at 10AM PDT on Oct. 28 according to a statement from the publisher on Steam's Community pages. The second coming of the game will include a patch that will bring the PC version at par with content already available for console versions of the games (except for console exclusives like the Scarecrow Nightmare Pack for PlayStation 4).
By next week then, all PC players of Batman: Arkham Knight will finally have access to Photo Mode, Big Head Mode, Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman Skin, and character selection in combat AR challenges. Season Pass holders will get even more goodies like more Crime Fighter Challenge Packs, more Batmobile race tracks, Arkham episode story packs, and a whole bat cave worth of skins and extra Batmobiles from both the TV and movie series.
