Three of the most acclaimed Batman video games of all time are being bundled together and brought to the Nintendo Switch, according to a retailer leak. The new collection, titled the Batman Arkham Collection, will likely contain the same titles as the PC and console collection that was released in 2018: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight.
Details of this bundle were leaked by French retailer WTT, who accidentally posted a listing for it coming to Switch at the end of August. This could just be a placeholder date for the bundle, since retailers tend to just make assumptions about dates when there are no solid ones just yet. But this website has done this before in the past, when it listed the Nintendo Switch version of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt before it was even announced.
This will mark the fist time any of the Arkham titles have hit Nintendo Switch, although both of Telltale's Batman games are available for the console. The Batman Arkham Collection will apparently cost the same as a normal retail title, around $60, which is a bargain considering it's three games in one. Hopefully it will run as smoothly as the best Switch ports have.
While mobile versions of these now-classic Batman Arkham titles will surely be anticipated by fans, there are more games on the way. RockSteady Studios is hard at work at Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which will apparently take place directly after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. As one would expect from the name of the game players will choose members of the Suicide Squad group of villains, killing members of the Justice League such as Superman and Green Lantern, with the kicker being that they become under Braniac's control. The game has been delayed but WarnerMedia has insisted that the game is still on track for release in 2022.
Fans also have Gotham Knights to look forward to from WB Games Montréal, the developer behind Arkham Origins, the prequel game following a younger, greener Batman. Gotham Knights will allow gamers to play as either Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, or Red Hood, and it will features 2-player co-op, a first in the series. No release date is set for this just yet, but it too is set to come out sometime in 2022.
Along with all of this and Matt Reeves' The Batman hitting theaters on March 4th, it's shaping up to be a good year to be a Bat-fan.
