"Batman: Return to Arkham" is reported to be released on November. Warner Bros. did not change their statement, which was still the same when they announced the delay.
According to the sources of Eurogamer, the collection of the remastered versions of the first game "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and its sequel "Batman: Arkham City" will be delayed until at least November. It was supposed to be launched on July 31, but it was recently announced by the game publisher that it will be delayed. They did not announce the next release date for the video game, but the multiple sources from the publication said otherwise.
One of the sources said that the video game will be launched on September, but the publication believed that this was just an optimistic estimate from a fan. The publication is now optimistic that the November estimate will be a better choice, but they also think that this release window might not happen too. If this game will not be announced for release in November, then it will be early next year.
The publication has also gotten word from a source that the reason for the delays was about the quality of the port of these two games to the recent consoles. It was reported that the ones behind the porting was a Chinese developer Virtuous Game and they have not fixed the major issue of the port's frame-rate. According to Polygon, quality is an important concern for Rocksteady, after their failed launch of the PC version of the third and final game "Batman: Arkham Knight."
Eurogamer got a statement from the game publisher that explained their situation of the video game delay. They decided to delay the game after the reviewed the progress of the project, and they want to give the game developers who are responsible for the port more time. They wanted the developers to give them a polished version of the game to make the players enjoy their experience.
The game publisher still did not give an official release date for the video game, but they promised the publication that they will give them a message once they know it is finally ready for launching. They also understand that this is disappointing news for the fans, but they felt that the extra time can make the video game play better for the fans.
