Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced that Batman: Arkham City has shipped more than 4.6 million units worldwide since its release last week. That's more than double what its predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum, sold in the same time period after its release in 2009.
Right now, Warner Bros. says Arkham City is the highest reviewed PS3 and Xbox 360 game of 2011 on Metacritic with average scores of 96 and 95, respectively.
"The true test for any game is what the players think and we have been thrilled by their reaction to Batman: Arkham City ,” said Sefton Hill, game director at Rocksteady Studios. “The team at Rocksteady put every ounce of effort into making the best Batman experience we possibly could, so we are overwhelmed by the incredible feedback from the community.”
The president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Martin Tremblay, says the success of Arkham City further establishes the Batman brand as a marquee franchise for the growing business, which is looking to build on that success in 2012. Warner Bros. has already made an agreement with CD Projekt to bring The Witcher 2 to the Xbox 360 and an anonymous source recently told the L.A. Times that the company is working on a new Lego Batman game, a Hobbit game to coincide with the feature film's release, and another game featuring an unidentified DC Comics superhero.
The PC version of Arkham City will be available on November 15.
