    Batman Arkham Origins On Demand version?

    I've noticed that both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are available via Xbox Live On Demand (digital download). I also noticed that all the DLC for Arkham Origins is available to download On Demand but not the full game. Are there any plans for Arkham Origins
    to be available for download via the marketplace and if so when?

    Batman: Arkham Knight Delayed Three Weeks with New Gameplay Video

    Meh no biggie I rather see it released polished and working. Remastered Arkham Asylum and Akrham City is a surprise. Guessing Arkham Origins is left out due to Rocksteady not making it?

    This game has been de listed and is no longer available for purchase digitally. You may be able to find a cheap used physical copy somewhere of it.

    I noticed that but why would they delist the newer game and not the 2 older ones?

    Origins was never made available to purchase digitally. I'm not sure exactly why, but it was most likely due to it having 2 discs.

    Doesn’t COD Ghosts also have 2 discs? I’m pretty sure you can buy that digitally too.

    That was just a guess. I've never been able to find an exact reason why it was never released digitally. It's one of the games I wanted forever too so I kept an eye out.

    Batman "Xbox One"

    Hi, the game is not currently backward compatible. Only Arkham Origins is compatible, but there is a couple of Xbox One versions of the game in a bundle titled Return to Arkham which gives you Arkham Asylum & Arkham City or you can get the Arkham Collection
    which gives you Arkham Asylum, Arkham City & Arkham Knight, all remastered and Xbox One X enhanced.

    Should I Play Asylum First?

    There is mention, in Arkham City, of events that occured during Arkham Asylum that sort of tie the two games together. It may not make sense to you if you haven't played the first game. Knowing what I know about Arkham Asylum and what I've played so far
    in Arkham City, I suggest playing the Asylum game first since Arkham City looks to be a continuation of the story line set up by Arkham Asylum. Besides, Arkham Asylum was a fantastic game and shouldn't be missed by anyone imo.

    TV show "Lost" reference!

    Actually, Gotham is Arkham City, the reason why its called this is because Arkham Asylum is shut down and they just block off a portion of the city.

    "Quincy Sharp, former warden of Arkham Asylum, has taken credit for stopping the Joker's Asylum takeover, and used the notoriety to become mayor of Gotham City. Deeming Arkham and Blackgate Penitentiary no longer suitable to contain the city's criminals
    and insane, Sharp has both facilities closed and buys out a large section of Gotham's slums, converting them into an immense open-air prison named Arkham City"
