“Batman: Return to Arkham” is actually a collection of the remastered version of “Arkham Asylum” and “Arkham City” using the Unreal Engine 4 for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. It is set to officially roll out on October 18.
Using Unreal Engine 4, developer Virtuous Games has tweaked and improved all the game’s visuals. Everything from lighting to character models has visual upgrades. The upgrades provide a fairly valid reason for anyone that’s already played the games to want to try the new releases.
Both games shall include all previously released DLCs and feature improved graphics, upgraded models and environment, and improvements in the lighting effects and shades for both games.
More importantly, critics believe that the release of “Batman: Return to Arkham” gives the perfect opportunity for the new generation of players to experience earlier games in the series.
Putting it in simpler terms, “Batman: Return to Arkham” is a remake and a massive collection of previous games in the series. Warner Brothers Interactive, the publisher that owns the rights to the Batman franchise and other DC Comics heroes, is hoping that players that did not get the original game will want to try it out and assures them that they would really enjoy the new game collection.
