Gotham Knights is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by WB Games Montréal and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is set to be released on October 21, 2022, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Inspired by the Batman: Gotham Knights comic series based on the DC Comics character Batman and his supporting cast, the game focuses on the characters Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood as they attempt to restore justice to Gotham City during a period of decline in the immediate aftermath of Batman's death. While investigating Batman's disappearance, the heroes come into conflict with the Court of Owls, a secret society that is as old as Gotham itself, and their legion of brainwashed assassins called Talons.

Gameplay


Gotham Knights is an upcoming action role-playing game set in an open world Gotham City.[2] The game features four playable characters: Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood. Each character has their own unique playstyle and abilities,[3] such as Robin being able to teleport via the Justice League's satellite.[4] Players can level up their characters, but enemies will be automatically leveled up as well.[5] They can also use vehicles such as the Batcycle to explore the city.[6] During the daytime, players will occupy the Belfry, which acts as the team's base of operations and allows players to switch characters and prepare for the next mission by managing progression, and upon leaving the Belfry, the game will fast forward to the nighttime.[7]

While the narrative campaign can be played solo, the game also features a two-player cooperative multiplayer mode, wherein the second player can drop in and out at any time without affecting the other one.[8] A separate four-player cooperative mode named "Heroic Assault" will be introduced in November 2022. In this mode, players must battle enemies in an arena-like environment while completing various objectives.[9]


Premise


The game is set in Gotham City after the deaths of Bruce Wayne / Batman (Michael Antonakos)[10] and Police Commissioner James Gordon, which has resulted in a rise of crime and police corruption.[11] Players assume the role of four of Batman's former protégés—Dick Grayson / Nightwing (Christopher Sean),[12] Barbara Gordon / Batgirl (America Young),[13] Tim Drake / Robin (Sloane Morgan Siegel),[14] and Jason Todd / Red Hood (Stephen Oyoung)[15]—as they attempt to continue his legacy by protecting Gotham upon receiving a pre-recorded message from Batman.[16] During the game, the heroes encounter several supervillains, including the Court of Owls, Mr. Freeze (Donald Chang),[17][18] Harley Quinn (Kari Wahlgren),[19] Clayface (Brian Keane),[20] and Penguin (Elias Toufexis).[21][22] Supporting characters include Bruce's former butler Alfred Pennyworth (Gildart Jackson)[23] and Police Captain Renee Montoya (Krizia Bajos),[24] one of the few honest cops left in the city.[25]


Development


Despite WB Games Montréal's previous work developing Batman: Arkham Origins and the game featuring many of the same characters from the Batman: Arkham series and even a similar premise to the ending of Batman: Arkham Knight (in which Batman is seemingly killed), Gotham Knights is said to be an original story separate from those games.[26][27] The game is also unrelated to The CW's similarly-titled TV series, which features certain similar plot points such as Bruce Wayne's death and the Court of Owls as antagonists.[28] Gotham Knights is being built in Unreal Engine 4.[29] PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game were in development, but were ultimately cancelled due to the developer wanting to “provide players with the best possible gameplay experience.”[30][31]


Release


Gotham Knights was revealed during a virtual event called DC FanDome in August 2020, planned to be released in 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.[32] The game was later announced to be delayed until 2022.[33][34] The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were later cancelled.[35] In August 2022, it was revealed at Gamescom that the release date would move up from October 25 to October 21.[36]


Marketing


Main article: Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City

At San Diego Comic-Con in July 2022, DC Comics announced a comic book limited series—written by Evan Narcisse and illustrated by ABEL—titled Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City, to serve as a tie-in to the game. The comic book will serve as a prequel to Gotham Knights, exploring Batman's final case before his disappearance, and is set to begin publishing around the same time as the game, on October 25, 2022, with subsequent issues releasing monthly.[37] Each issue of the limited series will come with a code for an in-game item, as well as a seventh item given to those who purchase all six issues of the comic book.[38]
