The PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight won’t be returning to stores shelves for a while.
According to a leaked email obtained by Kotaku Australia, Warner Bros. won’t be issuing a PC fix for the troubled Batman: Arkham Knight for at least a couple of months. The game is unplayable for most PC users, and the publisher already pulled the triple-A release from digital stores and retail shelves. Now EB Games stores in Australia are apparently sending back all stock of the title until a solution is found. It’s another blow for Warner Bros. in what’s been one of the messiest game releases in recent years.

Due to this we have made the difficult decision to recall all PC stock from stores to return to the vendor until an acceptable solution is released.”
Spring in Austalia starts in September, but that’s still some time away. In the meantime, Warner Bros. is losing valuable revenue by not being able to sell PC copies of one of this year’s biggest titles.
