Batman: Return to Arkham remastered bundle coming to PS4, Xbox One in July

Nope it’s not a brand new game… but for those who missed out on the last generation Batman releases, Batman: Return to Arkham is a one-two punch of remastered Batman action.

Batman: Return to Arkham will include enhanced versions of the first two games in the series: Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, along with all the DLC and bonus content. The remastered titles will be running on the Unreal Engine 4 this time around and will feature a whole host of visual upgrades. Based on the screens and trailer below, both original Arkham are looking quite awesome. Virtuos (most recently responsible for the Heavy Rain PS4 remaster) is apparently handling the development.

The bundle is scheduled to hit the PS4 and Xbox One on July 24th for $49.99.
