Retailer Suggests Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 Not Coming Until 2011

Posted by admin On April - 23 - 2010

Early details on the sequel to Bcash machinean: Arkham Asylum have been revealed already, including a “much darker” tone and a cast of villains that includes Joker, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, and Talia, but if you’re expecting the game to come out sometime this year, it looks like you’ll end up disappointed. According to CVG, a senior retail source in the U.K. has told them that publisher Warner Bros. is planning to hold off on the release of Arkham Asylum 2 until 2011.

“We’ve been told that Warner has acted early to avoid releasing the game into a heavily congested pre-Christmas market,” the source said. “It wants to dominate the first quarter of 2011 instead, when it can get maximum retail space and mindshare amongst gamers.”

The move would hardly be unprecedented; over the past few months, we’ve seen a number of games launched since the beginning of the year that were originally planned for release in late 2009, including BioShock 2, Heavy Rain, and Bayonetta, among others. It is, however, sure to be frustrating for Bcash machinean fans who were hoping to get their hands on the game this year.
