The game is looking to be one of the most exciting titles of a very busy period, and if the new development team can recapture the impact of either Arkham Asylum or City, they'll be on to a winner. What we know of it so far, it's set before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City and indeed before the rise of Gotham Citys most dangerous criminals. We'll follow the "young and unrefined" Batman through an early defining moment, which sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight, and with the promise of meeting new characters and developing key relationships, it's an intriguing prospect. The US version of the Collector's edition will be unveiled next week.
