Batman: Arkham City Hitting On October 18

Batman, Batman, Batman.

After a wee bit of confusion yesterday regarding regions, Warner Bros. has come out and clarified news of the various launch dates of Batman: Arkham City. The follow-up will hit US shores on October 18, a mere day before the game graces the land down under on October 19. It will then see releases across Europe and the rest of the world (or “other global territories,” as the press release puts it) a little later on October 21.

Not much to say on this one other than, man, I want more Batman! The first was fantastic and it looks like Rocksteady is doing what it should with this sequel by opening the environments, ratcheting the conflict, and giving Batman (and you) more abilities and things to do. 

Oh, and some new screens were being passed around this morning. Check them out:

Jeez! I thought we'd have to wait til next year! This year is shaping up to be amazing, though I'm sure GOTY will be even more contentious.

Batman: AA was my favourite game of this generation hands down, Arkham City looks to pick up the title and just run like fuck away with it!

So it comes out roughly two weeks before Uncharted which is ten days before Skyrim as well as whatever else comes out in Q4, well I guess I don't have to eat for a month.
