Post-Batman RPG Gotham Knights To Release Sooner Than Expected As New Trailer Drops
The latest trailer highlights that Jim Gordon is gone and Bruce Wayne's Batman is nowhere to be found, though exact details of Batman's whereabouts are not included. What it does provide is a bit of a surprise towards the end. It was always somewhat expected that players likely would be able to play as at least Robin, Nightwing, or probably Batgirl in Gotham Knights. The trailer adds in someone else, a fan favorite anti-hero Red Hood.
While the game is not officially a sequel to anything within the Arkham series, it definitely looks to take a lot of inspiration from it. The gameplay implied from the trailer looks like it might have a similar fighting style as well. This makes sense considering WB Games Montreal was one of the lead development teams behind the Arkham series.
Harley Quinn in Gotham Knights
Gotham Knights will be available October 21st on PC via Steam or Epic Games, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Gotham Knights was originally tipped for an October 25th release, so it is nice to see a game launch early rather than face delays for once. Sorry Playstation 4 and Xbox One owners, the official FAQ says they have no intention to release for these older platforms. Pre-orders are available and will receive a nifty custom Batcycle skin.
