Evidence points to next-gen Batman: Arkham series compilation

Gamers who want the full Arkham experience on their next-gen console may be in luck, as a GameStop employee as revealed that a new compilation game called Batman Arkham HD Collection will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The evidence was leaked to Eurogamer, revealing what would be included:

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum (including all DLC)
  • Batman: Arkham City (including all DLC)

Unlike rumors a year ago, Batman: Arkham Origins seemingly won’t be included. Perhaps only the Rocksteady-developed games are being included. The lone Xbox One/PlayStation 4 Arkham game, Arkham Knight, will also apparently not be included.

Stay tuned.
