Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 Aiming For October

Earier today German website PC Games (via VG247) said that Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 was currently penned for an October release date.  Naturally, the release window (from publishers Warner) was little more than tentative, but it might have gone some way to gearing up your own sense of excitement at what could be a stunning sequel to one of the best games of 2009.

The sequel was officially announced at the last Spike Video Game Awards, along with a teaser trailer which at least confirmed the Joker (and fling Harley Quinn) would be present and correct.

However, a spokesperson for Warner has subsequently told the site that the story is “based on inaccurate information on the German Warner site” and that the “information was taken down a couple of hours ago, accordingly.”  That was quick.  “We haven’t announced a release date for the sequel to Batman Arkham Asylum yet and I’ll let you know as soon as we have any news,” said the spokesperson.
