Eidos has confirmed to MCV that Batman: Arkham Asylum will be released on August 28th in Europe – and three days earlier in North America.

Fans will be pleased to hear that Eidos stuck to its word on the title – after initially delaying the release to the ‘end of summer’.

Meanwhile, the publisher has revealed that the title will be playable on PS3 at E3. It will show the game at Booth # 2422 alongside upcoming releases Mini Ninjas and Just Cause 2.

“Eidos is proud to offer three very innovative and unique products at this year’s E3. These games are a reflection of Eidos’ commitment to deliver compelling characters in rich and expansive environments, allowing players to immerse themselves in engaging gameplay,” said Eidos EVP for sales and marketing Robert A. Lindsey.

“Heading back to the Los Angeles Convention Center is a big deal and Eidos is striving to make the return to the show floor unforgettable.”
