Batman Arkham HD Collection Leak Points to June Release on Xbox One and PS4 - Report

It looks like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City will be making the jump to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this year, according to a leaked image of the 'Batman Arkham HD Collection', outed by a GameStop employee.

The leaked listing reveals that pre-orders commence tomorrow (pointing to an official announcement then) ahead of the Batman Arkham HD Collection's release on 10th June 2016. Like any remastered compendium worth its salt, the Arkham Collection brings together Asylum and City with all of the DLC for both games. Assuming the listing is legitimate, of course.

However, WB Montreal's Batman: Arkham Origins won't be included as part of the anthology, meaning Rocksteady's core titles will only be part of the collection with revamped visuals. Take a look at the GameStop listing sent to Eurogamer below. Should it all prove kosher, you can expect an announcement tomorrow.

  • good stuffffffff
  • Another HD remake, how original. Developers, you are all so smart and we are none the wiser.
  • meanwhile games from like 2006 that deserve remasters don't get it
  • yea more remastered!!!! Seems like its easier for developers to REMASTER something than it is to come out with new content.
  • @#5 still better then the crap we get today
  • The only 3 remasters on the one i would really like to see would be a bishock trilogy, a crysis trilogy and A Modern Warfare collection
  • Its easy money for the developer and publisher, as long its actually a real remaster with nice improved textures, bug fixes (mainly to city 0 the game has annoying bug where you get black screen when signed into live, so you have to log out of your profile then run it) Also running at 10809/60 frames would be good. Too many of other "remasters" have been cheap shitty ports crapped out for some quick cash while gamers call them remasters or HDREMAKEREMASTERS!!
  • My top 3 remaster collections: 1: Bioshock 2: Dead Space 3: Batman Arkham Asylym / City
  • Eh... if it'd come with Origins and Blackgate, the two games in the series I've not played, I might have considered it.
  • I may get it if they switch up some achievements. I don't really want to do all those campaign challenges again with every character.
  • I'll pick these up for sure, as I'd love to play through both and get more achievements along the way, but my price point for a remaster is $15. So I'll be waiting. Yes, I post on CAG.
  • So in a year or so when we get a new xbox, will lets just say a game like quatum break be REMASTERED for the new system?? Getting out of hand.
  • MEHH id buy it with origins an blackgate
  • I was hoping these two would go backwards compatible...guess not.
  • has all dlc* Playstation 4 will still be the only version with the old gen exclusive content. Either that or neither version will have them.
  • An HD AA would be awesome. It would be even better if they gave it the combat from AC. It's incredibly satisfying to give a beatdown on the last thug.
  • Count me in I'll buy this for PS4 and XB1.
  • I dislike the trend towards remastering games that are relatively recent, however, I don't blame the Devs as I'll probably buy this. I'd like them to do this "properly". Not just graphics but some gameplay mechanics that were improved too. It bothered me that Halo: Anniversary didn't bother to put in some of the mechanics added in later games. If something, in-story, doesn't make sense to be added then fine, but if it's just something they hadn't thought of or later improved, they should make the extra effort to put it in. Guess this means that we won't be seeing these on BC though.
  • Oooh neat! I actually haven't played those two yet so I'll definitely pick it up!
  • Although this is not Batman related at all.. I really wish they would remaster the SKATE series. SKATE, SKATE 2, SKATE 3 or just make them Backwards compatible. XBOX ONE NEEDS THE SKATE FRANCHISE IN IT'S LIFE.
  • Why HD collection in the title. Were they not already HD? Really wanted this to happen. Sad Origins isn't in the list as I never played that one. Now just announce Bioshock collection instead of all these leaks.
  • I think this may be fake
  • Ah. Rocksteady was busy on re-masters of the previous games. Guess that explains why they padded my Arkham Knight Season Pass content with a bunch of redundant fucking race tracks.
  • Glad I haven't bought a One or PS4. I got like a 2 to 3 year backlog of great games I paid practically nothing for. Why don't we just remaster every fucking game and be done with it. You guys who upgraded got a handful of great original games and a bunch of remasters...I can wait as long as it takes.
  • @26 I'm in the same boat, I'm clearing my 360 backlog out. I'm not spending £200-£300 on a console where 50 or so percent of the retail games are re-releases and re-masters! I also love how people lap up these re-masters I personally think we should all avoid them like the plague and then I dunno.... They might make something NEW! But hey if people wana pay and play the same game on a different console then go for it.
  • @27 stupid people will do stupid things. The problem is most people are stupid or they act like they have no common sense. I get bad mouthed by people because "i'm too poor to buy a new system" and it's not like that. I got plent of cash and I also have credit cards with high limits, I could buy 10 PS4s and 10 Xbox Ones if I wanted. I just choose to do what I think is right and not give these companies my money until they make a product worthy of my money. I'm 38 and been gaming since Atari 2600, i'm not interested in "being cool" or "trying to fit in" that's high school shit.
  • when darksiders 2 was remastered it was full of bugs and gliched achievements and its still not fixed
  • I would really like Crysis 1,2,3 with 60fps.As long as the res is decent. Got good memories with my HD4870,Core 2 Quad q8400@ 3.1ghz. Can it run Crysis?
  • After that last DLC I am mad at the batman games. It can stay on the shelf.
  • No Origins? Lame. Would like to see that with this, with or without the multiplayer.
  • @#28: No you get bad-mouthed because you seem like a douchey, know-nothing asshole.
  • Onimusha collection! Need! NOW!
  • @28 What the fuck are you talking about? If you have the money to "buy 10 Xbox Ones" and a " 2 to 3 year backlog" waiting for you, then why not buy an Xbox One and start playing that backlog? Also, if the product isn't worth your money, then why collect a backlog for it?
  • No Origins? Boo. I loved the online.
  • @9 "Also running at 10809/60 frames would be good.." ?? Interesting framerate you got there. But uh, how would 10k resolution even be possible for a PC.. let alone for a console :p "stupid people will do stupid things." Like make asinine posts. "The problem is most people are stupid or they act like they have no common sense." I've read your entire post and applaud you for making a point out of yourself. "I get bad mouthed by people because.." Well, when you insult others, you should expect to be responded to in kind. "I'm too poor to buy a new system.." Go ahead and make stuff up. You don't know everyones motivations or reasons, for buying(or not) things they like. "I got plent of cash and I also have credit cards with high limits, I could buy 10 PS4s and 10 Xbox Ones if I wanted.." That's nothing but a bunch of self serving BS. There are others here, who are in an even better position than you. Your status means nothing to me or the others. I have thousands invested in my games as well. Who cares though. I game for myself, not as some type of pseudo status symbol. " I just choose to do what I think is right.." If you can do that, why cant others? "until they make a product worthy of my money.." If you work the system, the money you spend on gaming can be offset greatly. Value is subjective. If a person wants to buy something, why does it bother you? It's their money. " I'm 38.." Well, you don't act like it. "that's high school shit.." No its not, but the way you come off in your post is. Your greatest weapon against these remakes is to not buy them. There's no need to insult people here like you do.
  • Opps, forgot @28 for the rest of the post--^
  • It would be nice if the Xbox One version comes with the PS3 exclusive Joker Challenges in Asylum. I think there was an extra Batman challenge map or two that was exclusive to PS3 as well. Make it complete. Can't stand DLC exclusivity. Especially when it's permanent.
  • Would rather it come with all the games tbh. I know origins was by a different studio but come on... No purchase for me then.
  • This looks fake actually, and the Arkham games looked great as they were!
  • @10 pretty much !
  • I just want the 3 Arkham games on 360 to be backward compatible...
  • @6 said "Seems like its easier for developers to REMASTER something than it is to come out with new content." Well…yeah. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
  • @11 they don't really count as Arkham games so they wouldn't be included in an Arkham collection.
  • RemasterStation 4 & Recycledbox 1 and @37 glad my comment got under your skin enough for you to write a fucking bible about it. Everything I said is true and I stand behind it. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it less true. Keep buying remasters and you'll keep getting them instead of original content. Keep buying season passes and you'll keep getting them even before the game is release. Keep beta testing games and doing the devs jobs for them. Why should the devs do quality control when you perfectly happy to do it for them. If none of what I said applies to you (which highly doubt), then let it fall on the idiots shoulders. All their doing is fuckin it up for the rest of us.
  • @35 by "backlog" I mean 360 & PS3 games you dumbass. Last time I checked not even half the games in my backlog are backwards compatible and I already own a 360 so why buy a One? See what I mean about stupid people and lack of common sense? Thanks for proving my point
  • @37 oops typo but 10k resolution would be pretty nice ;)
  • Brilliant news, hope it's real. I know people think it's lazy, but for me, it's the equivalent of an old film releasing on Blu-Ray. I get to enjoy an older game on a more modern machine, with sharper visuals. Please be true. Although, I did remember this being a rumor last summer, too.
