A Switch release of the Batman Arkham Collection has been spotted on French retailer WTT.
The Batman Arkham Collection was previously released in 2019 for the PS4 and Xbox and contained Batman Arkham Asylum, Batman Arkham City, and Batman Arkham Knight, as well as each game's DLC. Interestingly, it didn't contain Batman Arkham Origins, a prequel that was developed by Warner Bros Montreal instead of Rocksteady. It looks like that collection will soon be making its way to the Nintendo Switch.
As reported by VGC, French retailer WTT currently has "Batman Arkham Collection - Switch" listed for €59.99 with a release date of August 31, 2022. That date falls on a Wednesday, meaning that it's likely just a placeholder date, if the listing is true to begin with.
Although there have been many examples of retailers listing games that didn't come true, WTT previously listed the Switch port of The Witcher 3 before it was officially announced, a game that many never thought would hit a portable system. This lends some credibility to the listing for the Batman Arkham Collection.
This isn't the first time that Batman has appeared on the Nintendo Switch. Back when the Wii U launched, Rocksteady ported Batman Arkham City over to the Wii U as the "Armoured Edition", adding in motion control and touchpad support for gadgets, as well as a new armour mode for Batman and Catwoman.
If Batman Arkham City can run on the Wii U with little issue, then it seems likely that Arkham Asylum would be in the same boat. The only concerns come with Batman Arkham Knight, which was a pretty graphically intense game when it launched in 2015 and still holds up remarkably well today, making it a worrying prospect to play on a handheld.
Still, if games like The Witcher 3 can be ported over to the Switch, it wouldn't be too surprising to see the last Batman game in the trilogy hitting the Switch. It'd hardly be an "Arkham Collection" without it.
