With October just a stone's throw away, the Dark Knight prepares to cast his shadow over Nintendo Switch. As unveiled by both Rocksteady Studios and Nintendo, the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Trilogy is coming to the Switch on October 13.
With a dash of nostalgia, gamers will get to don the iconic black cape and cowl once again, this time while prowling the streets.
Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham series is celebrated for revolutionizing superhero action games across three entries over the past decade. The trilogy starts with something "smaller" in scale, Arkham Asylum, a metroidvania beat-'em-up that's set within the infamous institution's grim walls. This immersive narrative sees the Dark Knight going toe to toe with his usual menacing ensemble of foes, ranging from the ever-unpredictable Joker to the likes of Harley Quinn and Bane. The next is Arkham City, serving fans an expanded chunk of Gotham, metamorphosed into a sprawling prison. Here, players grapple with classic antagonists including Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, and The Penguin. The trilogy culminates with Arkham Knight, amping up the gameplay with the introduction of a drivable, transformable Batmobile. It's a grand, emphatic curtain call to Rocksteady's narrative.
Beyond the core stories, this bundle isn't shy on content. Fans will be pleased to hear that all previously released DLCs for these games will accompany the main titles.
