But without further ado, read on to find out everything there is to know about Nintendo-approved Batman!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When is the Batman Arkham Trilogy Switch release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Batman Arkham Trilogy on Switch release date is <b>Autumn 2023<\/b>. There hasn\u2019t been any mention of exactly when, but this upcoming autumn is packed full of big <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/video-game-release-dates\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">game releases,<\/a> so they will have to be careful not find themselves competing with the likes of Starfield, Spider-Man 2 or Hogwarts Legacy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that upon release, only Arkham Asylum will be on the cartridge, and to play Arkham City and Arkham Knight, they will need to be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop. Be sure to do so if you were planning to get in some hours on any upcoming holidays or trips you have planned.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as we have a solid release date for The Batman Arkham Trilogy we will be sure to update you.<\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can I pre-order Batman Arkham Trilogy on Switch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Batman Arkham Trilogy on Switch is available for pre-order right now at <a href=\"\/\/www.game.co.uk\/en\/batman-arkham-trilogy-2915976&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">GAME<\/a> for \u00a339.99. There isn\u2019t any word regarding any sort of pre-order bonus at the moment, but the trilogy is sure to include all the DLCs from the original games, so you won\u2019t be short of any additional content. It\u2019s a whole lot of game-on-the-go for a pretty great price.<\/p>\n<p>We wouldn\u2019t be surprised if there aren\u2019t any extra goodies, but if there are any updates regarding this, we\u2019ll be sure to let you know the moment we hear so be sure to check back in with us.<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6328605533112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <h2><strong>Batman Arkham Trilogy on Switch gameplay and story details<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Arkham Trilogy spans Arkham Asylum, which sees Batman navigating the iconic Asylum as he works to take back control from the Joker through a mixture of stealth, brawls and gadgets. After the initial linear tutorial missions, the game opens up to the rest of the Asylum, where the player is free to take on missions and explore as they see fit.<\/p>\n<p>The second game, Arkham City, opens the action up to the eponymous city, a super-prison comprised of the decrepit slums of Gotham City, as Batman works to uncover the dangerous schemings of the warden, Hugo Strange. Catwoman is a playable character here too, with her own storyline.<\/p>\n<p>Arkham Knight sees Batman taking the fight to Scarecrow, who is plotting to kill Batman by uniting all of Gotham\u2019s criminal gangs. The Batmobile is introduced here, which the player can freely drive around the city as they take on missions in the densely packed world.<\/p>\n<p>As said, all of the DLC is included, so there are hours-upon-hours of additional content available to the player. It\u2019s safe to say that we\u2019ll be playing this trilogy for a quite a while come this Autumn.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there a Batman Arkham Trilogy on Switch trailer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Oh, there most certainly is a trailer and we have it for your viewing pleasure just down below.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Batman:\" arkham=\"\" trilogy=\"\" reveal=\"\" trailer=\"\" nintendo=\"\" switch=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lVMNvvaXJ2s?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>It\u2019s outrageous just how well Rocksteady\u2019s games have held up over the years and, given its incredible art direction and forward-looking rendering, the Arkham Trilogy may very well end up being one of the best-looking games on the Switch, despite their vintage. How Rocksteady has managed to get Arkham Knight to run on the ageing hardware is nothing short of a miracle.<\/p>\n<p>The original Arkham City saw a release on the Wii U, but its sequel is far larger in scope and visual fidelity.
