Coming on October 13th, Nintendo Switch users will have the exciting opportunity to delve into the acclaimed Batman: Arkham Trilogy. This gripping collection encompasses the highly praised titles of Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight, promising countless hours of gaming enjoyment.

The collection will include all three games along with their respective DLC, offering players a complete Gotham City experience. Although Rocksteady Studios, the developer of the trilogy, is not in charge of the Switch port, fans can still anticipate an engaging and immersive gaming experience.

The highly anticipated release of the Batman: Arkham Trilogy collection for Nintendo Switch has finally been confirmed. Rocksteady Studios has announced the release date for fans eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play these beloved action games that have had a significant impact on the genre. The collection includes the critically acclaimed titles Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight. Although it may not be a groundbreaking release, Nintendo Switch owners will undoubtedly appreciate the inclusion of the Batman: Arkham Trilogy in their gaming library.

Originally launched in 2009 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Batman: Arkham Asylum received widespread acclaim for its innovative combat mechanics and gripping storyline. It garnered numerous Game of the Year awards in 2009 for its exceptional quality. The release of Batman: Arkham City in 2011 brought an expanded open-world experience to players, further solidifying the trilogy's success. Finally, in 2015, Arkham Knight concluded the trilogy with its thrilling conclusion. In subsequent years, these three games were also made available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The Nintendo Switch will soon have support for the Batman: Arkham Trilogy. Rocksteady Studios announced on Twitter that the trilogy will be available on the Switch starting October 13. The collection includes all three games from Rocksteady, along with their respective DLC. Pre-order for the trilogy is currently available at major retailers for $59.99. The DLCs for each game add new characters, challenge maps, and story content, offering players a comprehensive experience.

The announcement of the Switch port for Batman: Arkham Trilogy in June generated significant excitement. However, it was clarified that Rocksteady would not be handling the port due to its focus on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Instead, the port development responsibilities were assigned to Turn Me Up Games. In the past, Turn Me Up Games has successfully worked on Switch ports for It Takes Two, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, Borderlands: Legendary Collection, and other titles.

It is remarkable to contemplate that Rocksteady's Batman trilogy commenced fourteen years ago and continues to be re-released on new platforms. This demonstrates the enduring impact of the Batman Arkham games. Many fans may even prefer to see Rocksteady working on a new Batman game rather than Suicide Squad. However, there is always the possibility of that happening in the future. For now, the focus is on the Switch ports.
