Batman: Arkham Knight's PC release won't be fixed for months

Those hoping to play Batman: Arkham Knight on PC will have to be patient; leaked e-mails suggest that Batman: Arkham Knight won’t be released until spring in Australia, which is two months away.

An internal email sent to EB Games staff members, and passed on to Kotaku Australia, indicates that the retailer plans to send all PC copies of the game back to Warner Bros.

“As previously advised,” the email says, “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.”

Spring is a very loose timeline, but it’s clearly been deemed significant enough for EB Games to return all stock back to Warner locally.

Batman: Arkham Knight has been plagued with issues on PC. Rocksteady released a small fix, but there is still a lot of work to be done to resolve the major performance issues.

Neither Rocksteady nor Warner have given an estimate as to when they expect the issues to be fixed by. All that they have said so far is that the Batgirl DLC’s release has been delayed. That’s not all that surprising considering the game isn’t even on sale anymore at retail or on Steam.
