Xbox 360 version will release earlier

Up until now, everybody had assumed that the PC version of Batman Arkham City would release alongside its console counterpart. This is no longer the case. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Rocksteady Studios have confirmed that the PC version of the game is not due to be released until November, whereas the Xbox 360 version will be launching in October.

To sweeten disappointed gamers, here are a handful of PC specific screenshots for the game:

The Xbox 360 version of Batman: Arkam City is due to be released on October 18th in North America, followed shortly by October 19th in Australia, and October 21st in Europe. The release date for the PC version does not get any more specific than November.

I think I'm gonna stick with the PC version for this one. Didn't like the controller much for Arkham Asylum.

connectmeplease said:do we know if there are achievements?Yes there are, the PC version is a LIVE title, and I'm assuming a stack since that's usually how games work that don't have crossplatform multiplayer.

I want to play this and the 2 Arkham Asylums on PC, but I would use a 360 controller for them definitely.

Just need to find a cheap PC that can run these games better than the 360 could.

Bit disappointing, since I was thinking about getting a few PC games while I'm at uni, and Arkham City's on my list. Guess I'll wait until Christmas since I'd rather have the Xbox version.
Feel free to PM me about the GTA IV walkthrough, or any problems you're having with the game.

Well it depends what you consider cheap. $400 will get you a computer that'll play AA at max specs, maybe down to $300. Just gotta know where to buy the parts.

I went to http://www.build-gaming-computers.com/gaming-desktop-compute... and just built their cheap computer and couldn't be happier. For under $600 you can build a kick-ass gaming computer.

There was a hysteria not long ago which led to an official confirmation that it IS going to be a GFWL title.

I know I hope so too lol. Too bad you need 2 playhroughs to get the full 1000gs. That means playing Batman 8 times in theory. if its a goty on pc and 360 and a regular version for pc and 360

That's 10 times technically. There's five versions of Batman: Arkham Asylum if you count the Japanese version.
