GeForce NOW Brings Batman Back: The Arkham Series Returns After a Hiatus
NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW has announced a collaboration with Warner Bros. Games to bring the legendary Batman: Arkham series back to the platform. The series was previously removed, leaving fans disappointed and Gotham City without its digital guardian. Now, after a long wait, the Dark Knight returns to streaming.
Gotham in the Cloud: A Triumphant Return
The arrival of the Batman: Arkham trilogy to GeForce NOW marks a significant moment for fans of the Caped Crusader. After its removal from the service, many feared they might never again experience Gotham’s gritty streets. Now, thanks to this renewed partnership, players can relive the adrenaline-pumping narratives of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight. Each installment showcases Batman’s relentless pursuit of justice through innovative combat mechanics, iconic gadgets, and a cast of notorious villains.
A Cloudy Past: Why the Games Disappeared
The Batman: Arkham series was originally part of GeForce NOW’s expansive library but was removed during a period when multiple publishers re-evaluated their participation in streaming services. This decision left many fans disheartened as they lost access to these beloved titles.
The return of these games signifies a shift in the industry’s perspective on cloud gaming. As technology and consumer demand continue to evolve, publishers like Warner Bros. Games are recognizing the value of making their catalog accessible across various platforms. For more context on this turbulent period in GeForce NOW’s history, check out this article.
