Batman: Arkham Asylum was a game that impressed everyone back in 2009. The game was using Unreal Engine 3 and came out on last-gen platforms (obviously including the PC). And while there are no plans for an official remake, Zach Jaeger has gave us a glimpse at it via his latest recreation.
Jaeger has recreated the Arkham Asylum hallway in Unreal Engine 4. This scene was made in Unreal Engine 4 from scratch. Jaeger used Blender for modeling the assets then textured them using Substance Painter. The end result is great, and gives us a glimpse at what that amazing Batman game could look in Epic’s latest engine.
This hallway scene is based on the intro sequence from Batman: Arkham Asylum. There are obviously some changes to the map/level, however you will immediately notice some similarities. For example, the ending sequence is right before arriving at the elevator (and meeting Killer Croc).
Since Rocksteady is currently working on a brand new game and Warner Bros is developing a new Batman game, I’m almost certain that we’ll never see a remake or remaster of the first Batman Arkham game. It’s a shame as the game could greatly benefit from the new features that Unreal Engine 4 supports. I mean, imagine this Batman game with ray tracing (and no, I’m not talking about Reshade Ray Tracing).
But anyway, alongside a flythrough video, Jaeger has also released some screenshots from his Batman Arkham Asylum Remake in Unreal Engine 4 that you can find below.
Enjoy!
I’ve also included below the intro sequence from the original game (in case you forgot how it looked).

Easily the best Batman game ever made.
Wow we finally agree on something.
A rarity. 😀
Wow we finally agree on something.
Ummm hello ? Batman Arkham Orgins ? ?
Arkham Origins is the worst Arkham Game ever made.
Saids the one who’s never played to know that ? if you truly played it and say it’s the worst game ever you are a complete dumbass
hahahahahahhahahahahaahhahaahahahha
You have 0 clue what you’re talking about , i’ve been reading batman comics my whole life , followed Asylum before it launched , played all the games at launch , bought them all on steam later on and finished them all on maximum difficulty , the only one i didn’t finished on steam was Arkham Origins , since after i finished it cracked , i OBVIOUSLY didn’t buy it on steam … only have it on my steam library because it was free and picked it up , they destroyed the gameplay , they took a huge dump on the previous 2 games’ canon with their idiotic retcons and they didn’t even go all in into the plot presented on the first quarter of the game , You didn’t pay attention to the story , you are obviously TERRIBLE at freeflowing in these games (otherwise idk how could you justify them fkn up the counter window mechanics) , so wtf u talking about???? hahahahahahahaha , you picked the worst possible guy to use that lame argument.
Origins wasnt made by Rocksteady, made sense they didnt follow their canon.
I played it. And i say it’s the worst. Call me a dumbass because i have a different opinion than you… yeah. Fuc k off.
Origins is the worst Arkham game. Not the worst batman game, though.
‘I’ve also included below the intro sequence from the original game (in case you forgot how it looked).’ NO JUST STOP
This really pisses me off when people choose to show the worst version of a game as a comparison such as the PS3 footage shown here. Stop, it is misleading and downright dishonest.
As usual I’d take the original PC version over this fan remake.
ehhh ya it looks good but it’s too lit up and shiny. I prefer the original version on pc
Pretty sure they did remake this game with Unreal Engine 4 for PS4 and Xbox One. I see it sitting on my shelf right now, it’s called Return to Arkham and includes Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. They did rebuild the environments and remake all the character models. It wasn’t done by Rocksteady, but was still pretty cool.
Batman’s face in Return to Arkham’s version of Arkham Asylum is an absolute cringefest , also taking out the atmospheric bloom and fog to put in the Arkham Knight rain effects was arguably an even worst creative decision than the face one….I really bought into the concept of Arkham Asylum and City in Unreal Engine 4 with 0 hardware limitations compared to what they had to work with when the original 2 launched , but this is definitely not it….sad part is i’ll have to wait another 10 years to maybe get a proper remake.
Why remake when original looks good, sounds good, plays good.
im still into the whole concept of Arkham Asylum in UE4.5 , better textures and better lighting (Ray Traced Global Illumination even) with better and denser volumetric fog , atmosphere x10000 , just keep the OG Batman and Joker face.
UE3 is better than UE4 in every possible aspect.
Love the mirror they call a floor. Has anyone ever, seen a floor that reflects like that?
These “fan remakes”, are getting worse, instead of better.
Hello, original creator of the Remake here. I have read all of your comments and I agree: the floor is way too reflective. I made this awhile ago and never expected it to get this many views haha. However, now I am working on an updated build that’s improved that will be up shortly on youtube. Thanks
