Square Enix Edios isn’t going to deny North America more Batman: Arkham Asylum goodness. The company has just announced that the Game of the Year Edition, which initially was going to be a European and Australian exclusive, will be released in North America. Just it’ll be released in North America a little bit later.

If you’re in Europe or Australia, then you get access to the Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition a little bit earlier. It comes out at the end of the month, March 26, 2010 to be exact, there. The North American version won’t be out until May 11, 2010…

Square Enix London Studios has announced a Game of the Year Edition for superhero hit Batman: Arkham Asylum.

This game broke up a long string of mediocre titles for the caped crusader to become not just a well-received comic book game but a legitimate Game of the The Year contender for 2009.

The GOTY edition will come with six extra challenge maps and a play-in-3D option compatible with all standard and high definition TV sets. The game releases March 26, 2010, on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in Europe and other PAL territories. The bad news? It’s not coming to North America.
