While it’s not as bad as the previous delay that saw it go from 2014 to June 2, 2015, developer Rocksteady Games has announced that Batman: Arkham Knight will now release worldwide on June 23, 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Game Director Sefton Hill explained the delay:
We’re a developer that hates to make any compromises, so we are sorry to say this means it’s going to be just a little bit longer until you can play the epic conclusion to the Arkham trilogy.
As a reward for your patience and understanding, and to make the wait even more unbearable, we are pleased to whet your appetite with a new gameplay video of Batman: Arkham Knight.
Thanks so much from everyone at Rocksteady for your continued support. We are working as hard as we can to make you proud.
Captured from a PS4, the latest gameplay video for Batman: Arkham Knight runs for over 7 minutes and sees Batman using his own special methods to find out what Scarecrow is up to (note: this gameplay is from the first chapter of the game):
