Batman: Return to Arkham remasters get delayed with no new release date

Warner Bros. Interactive have delayed the release of Batman: Return to Arkham. The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 graphical remasters of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City was supposed to be released on July 26 but now have no new release date.

In a post on the company's community forums, Warner Bros Interactive stated:

After reviewing the progress of the project, the team at WB Games has decided to delay the release of Batman: Return to Arkham to give the team at Virtuous Games additional time to deliver a polished Batman Arkham game experience. We do not have a release date yet and will be sure to communicate that once we are sure the game will be ready. We know this is disappointing news, but we feel the extra time will allow the team to create the best gaming experience for our fans.

When the game is released, it is supposed to offer gamers a way to play Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City with the graphical features of Unreal Engine 4, rather than Unreal Engine 3 that was made for older console platforms. In addition, the games will include all of their post-release DLC and Game of the Year content.
