Just announced during the DC Comics DC Fan Dome, is the new WB Montreal game, Gotham Knights. We already covered the premise of the game, Batman is dead (sure he is….) and it is now up to Batgirl, Red hood, Robin, and Nightwing to take up the mantle and defend Gotham City. Gotham Knights can be played as a single-player game or you can call in some backup and play with another person via an online co-op mode. The title is being developed by Warner Bros. Games Montréal and has a release window of 2021.
Along with the introduction of Gotham Knights, we were also treated to a short, 7-minute gameplay demo that shows off Batgirl, as she tracks down Mister Freeze and tried to put an end to his troublesome ways.
Check out the gameplay demo below.
As you may have noticed, the game isn’t looking too hot, but that’s to be expected as this is a PRE-Alpha build and that the game has a long way to go. We don’t have a release date, as it’s way too early but we do have confirmation that the game will be released for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
