The collection will be released on October 13, 2023. And fans will be able to order it for themselves very soon.

For those unaware, this collection will include three of the original Arkham games specifically worked on by Rocksteady. The first one is Batman: Arkham Asylum, a game that is remembered as something that changed people’s perspectives on superhero games. It features Batman as he goes around Arkham Asylum trying to take its control back from The Joker and his pals.

The sequel Batman: Arkham City is a direct follow-up to Asylum. Following the debacle at Arkham Asylum, Mayor Quincy Sharp turns a whole piece of Gotham into Arkham City. The warden of this new asylum is none other than Hugo Strange, and he surprisingly knows who Batman is. Batman has to take him down and find his ulterior motive behind Arkham City.
