Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment have announced that they plan on releasing Batman: Arkham Knight worldwide on June 2nd of 2015. Not only this, the game is set to launch alongside two limited production collectors editions that will be made available in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The Batman: Arkham Knight Limited Edition is set to include an 80 page, fully coloured art book, a special steel book case and special disc. An issue of DC Comics Batman: Arkham Knight #0, exclusive character skin packs featuring skins from DC Comics – The New 52 and last but by no means least, a Batman Memorial Statue. This pack is listed as £89.99 for consoles and £74.99 for the PC version.

The Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition will include an 80 page, fully coloured art book, a special steel book case and special disc. An issue of DC Comics Batman: Arkham Knight #0, exclusive character skin packs featuring skins from DC Comics – The New 52 and it will also include a statue. This statue is a transforming Batmobile which has been created by TriForce. The Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition is exclusive to console builds of the game and is set to retail at £169.99.

Players that pre-order the standard version of the game will also receive twi additional DLC packs in the shape of  the Red Hood Story Pack and the Harly Quin Story Pack.

These include Gaslight Catwoman and Nightmare Batman along with several mainstay DC superheroes such as…well, Catwoman and Batman.

Turbine Executive Producer Jeffrey Steefel stated that, “The Turbine team is very excited to reveal Infinite Crisis to the world and extend the MOBA genre with new features. We are utilizing years of experience in the online game space to deliver innovations to the MOBA genre with a game that features fast-paced action, a major story arc, destructible environments, catastrophic events and a deep roster of iconic DC Comics characters.”

Infinite Crisis is slated to release for PC somewhere in 2013. Turbine is the same studio behind The Lord of the Rings Online and Asheron’s Call, and is now formally part of Warner Bros Interactive.

As the PR release details, “The Harley Quinn’s Revenge mission, a standalone story set two weeks after the events of the main game, sends players back into Arkham City as both Batman and Robin. Players must utilize each of the characters’ unique combat and investigative skills to uncover Harley’s vengeful plan and shut the gates on the urban mega-prison forever. Additional DLC includes the Catwoman pack, in which players become Catwoman in a subplot that takes place alongside the main story, and the Nightwing and Robin bundle packs, which allow players to become Robin and Nightwing as they take on the game’s challenge mode.

It’s nice to see all these intermixing tales happening within the framework of one game world. Makes you wonder if the next Arkham title wouldn’t build on the premise of featuring the entire Wayne Family. One can hope.

Gotham City Impostors has been moved to February. Ye, it has been delayed.

Gotham City Impostors is an original download-only first-person shooter where up to 12 players battle for control of an unhinged Gotham City overrun by Impostors inspired by the DC Comics characters Batman and The Joker. Gotham City Impostors is an online multiplayer game unlike any other, giving players the opportunity to engage in unconventional urban warfare as they personalize their own Impostors. Gamers will create their very own version of the Bats or the Jokerz characters using unprecedented customization options including insane costumes, homemade gadgets and a wide range of traditional and inventive weapons. The game will feature maps and modes inspired by DC Comics’ Batman license.

Warner Bros. Interactive and DC have announced that the MMO Gotham City Imposters will be released on January 10 next year for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

An open beta will go live in December. You can register for it here.

Stay tuned for more info.
