Release date set for Batman: Arkham City

Release date set for Batman: Arkham City
Batman: Arkham City is set to be released for PS3 and Xbox 360 videogame consoles and PC in autumn 2011, according to new details from Warner Bros.

This sequel to the 2009 blockbuster Batman: Arkham Asylum once again pits the Dark Knight against the Joker. But instead of taking place in a grim island prison, this new title introduces players to "Arkham City", a "heavily fortified" zone of Gotham City.

The name of the newly announced game is not a total surprise. Publisher Warner Bros registered a huge amount of new domain names in July. Among the 15 websites were ArkhamCity.com, BatmanArkhamCity.com, and CityOfArkham.com CloseArkhamCity.com.

Anything other than what is detailed above is pure speculation. Developer Rocksteady Studios, who were relatively unknown until the wildly successful release of Arkham Asylum, has kept quiet about the project. But that is to be expected since the game is still just over a year from release.

Restless fans may glean more details from the teaser trailer below, and look for the September issue of Game Informer which features a badly beaten Batman and leather clad Catwoman. Meow, indeed!
