Gotham Knights Release Date & Trailer

Code Black is active. The GCPD can’t be trusted. Batman is dead. This was the message issued by Bruce Wayne during his final recording to Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Robin (Tim Drake), Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Red Hood (Jason Todd), leaving them behind the task of saving Gotham before plunging into chaos. This is Gotham Knights.

The new open-world action RPG set in what is described as the “most dynamic and interactive Gotham City yet”, will arrive from Batman: Arkham Origin developer WB Games Montréal in 2021. Players will patrol the five different boroughs, facing off against the Caped Crusader’s rogue gallery and widespread criminal activity, in either solo or two-player co-op.

Gotham Knights was officially announced during DC FanDome on August 22, 2020. A release date was then slated for sometime in 2021, however, with the Covid-19 pandemic still prevalent in many parts of the world, it’s possible it may slip to 2022.

If the game does stick to 2021, there’s a good chance we will see it in the latter half of the year, going off the studio’s history. Outside of Cartoon Universe (which was completely web-based), every game developed by WB Games Montréal has launched in either October or November – suggesting we may see Gotham Knights release around that time.

As mentioned above, Gotham Knights is an open-world action RPG that allows you to play as four characters: Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing and Red Hood. Each of these characters has their own playstyle and abilities. Batgirl is trained in a variety of fighting styles and is also well-versed in technology and coding; Nightwing is a master of acrobatics and carries his iconic dual escrima sticks; Robin is an expert fighter who carries a quarterstaff and is trained in stealth; while Red Hood is strong and proficient in a manner of weapons.

As these Knights, players will patrol Gotham’s five district boroughs, dropping in on criminal activity as they find it.

While you can play Gotham Knights solo, there’s also an option to play co-op multiplayer, allowing a second player to drop in and out of the game as one of your fellow Knights – without affecting you.
