Batman: Arkham City's sequel Batman: Arkham Knight is set to release in June 2015.

The new release date for Batman: Arkham Knight is favorable for developer Rocksteady Studios since it gives them enough time to refine their farewell to Gotham. The game was originally scheduled to launch this fall but needed more time to meet the game's ambitious goals.
