Following the rocky launch ofMortal Kombat 1onNintendo Switch, which wasslammed as ‘garbage’ by gamers, it’s probably in the best interest to keep the trilogy under development on the console rather than releasing something half-baked and facing the backlash.
However, this isn’t the only delay Arkham is currently facing. Alongside theBatman: Arkham Trilogy,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas faced a delay this year which was announced back in April. This is the second delay thatKill the Justice Leaguehas faced, with the first pushing the 2022 release back to a May 2023 launch date. Earlier this year, the game received yet another delay and is now scheduled to release in 2024.
Hopefully, this will be the only delayBatman: Arkham Trilogyreceives, and it won’t be too long before we’ll be able to prowl Arkham on the hybrid console, ourselves.
