Batman: Arkham Knight is still on the surgery table at Rocksteady, or whichever other studio has been roped in to sort out that mess, and according to a leaked email sent to EB Games staff in Australia, we won’t see a fixed release for a few months yet.
“As previously advised,” reads the EB email reported by Kotaku AU, “we have stopped sales of Batman: Arkham Knight PC while Warner and Rocksteady work on addressing performance issues with the game. The latest information from Warner is that the updates won’t be available until Spring. Due to this we have made the difficult decision to recall all PC stock from stores to return to the vendor until an acceptable solution is released.”
Thankfully ”Spring” there refers to the Australian season, which is only a couple of months away, as opposed to Spring in the Northern hemisphere, which would mean sometime next year. That’s still quite a long wait though, and a sign that the issues with the port aren’t simple to fix.
Sales of Arkham Knight, along with any DLC released such as the Batgirl-focused A Matter of Family pack, are still suspended on the PC. Publisher Warner Bros is yet to respond to the leaked email.
