Although delay announcements are usually met with confusion and disappointment, many players are replying positively to the Tweet, with one user saying: “Please take all the time that you need so us fans can have the best version of the product. Thank you.”

Following the rocky launch of Mortal Kombat 1 on Nintendo Switch, which was slammed as ‘garbage’ by gamers, it’s probably in the best interest to keep the trilogy under development on the console rather than releasing something half-baked and facing the backlash.
However, this isn’t the only delay Arkham is currently facing. Alongside the Batman: Arkham Trilogy, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has faced a delay this year which was announced back in April. This is the second delay that Kill the Justice League has faced, with the first pushing the 2022 release back to a May 2023 launch date. Earlier this year, the game received yet another delay and is now scheduled to release in 2024.
Hopefully, this will be the only delay Batman: Arkham Trilogy receives, and it won't be too long before we'll be able to prowl Arkham on the hybrid console, ourselves.
