Gotham Knights’ release date is currently set for October 25th, 2022. We are pinning it to be released near the end of the year, just in time for Halloween.
The official Twitter account announced the news on March 9th, though it was delayed from its 2021 release window late 2017.
Gotham Knights Story
The Gotham Knights story begins boldly with Batman being killed in an explosion that rocked Wayne Manor. Jim Gordon is also out of the picture. Bruce Wayne assigns the Batman Family to protect the city from criminals soon too rampant.
As they face down supervillains such as Doctor Freeze and lowly criminals, the four family members will need to prove their worth. The story of Gotham Knights was revealed when the game was first announced. It will see the heroes of Gotham Knights go up against the Court of Owls. This secret society comprises some of the city’s most wealthy and oldest families who have been pulling the strings since the city’s founding.
Gotham Knights Main Characters
The Batman Family comprises four characters who step in to take Batman’s place and bring their skills and abilities.
Red Hood
Red Hood or Jason Todd is described as “an intensive and volatile antihero,” which would be easy to assume based on his grimy appearance and preference for dual-wielding guns.
He was brought back to life by Batman’s foes. His training enabled him to “reach peak human strength,” and his knowledge of multiple combat techniques, as well as his ability to use both high-tech and traditional weapons, make him a formidable combatant.
According to the Gotham Knights official website, he also “embraced Batman’s non-lethal combat methods,” so his weapons may be loaded with special ammunition.
Robin
Robin (or Tim Drake) is the group’s youngest member, but he stands out because of his intelligence and ability to deduce reasoning. He looks up to Batman, his mentor. He is skilled with his collapsible halfstaff but can also use stealth when necessary.
His background in “combined psychology warfare and behavioral sciences” gives him an edge over his adversaries.
Batgirl
Barbara Gordon’s determination and willpower help her to see through any challenge. She has left behind her past as an Oracle and returned to Gotham to take over Batman’s duties. She is proficient in many fighting styles, including kickboxing and capoeira. Her signature weapon is the tonfa.
She is a skilled fighter in close-quarters combat. However, her experience as an Oracle makes her a great “hacker or coder in computers and technological systems to find information.” “
Nightwing
His peers describe Dick Grayson as “a natural leader and optimist who is the most charismatic member of the Batman Family.” His ability to perform acrobatics results from his childhood in a circus family. He wields two escrima sticks to bring pain to his enemies in battle.
Gotham Knights Gaming
A gameplay trailer from August 2021 gave us our first glimpse at Gotham Knights’ gameplay. You can see it below. It also showcases one of the game’s Villain Crimes. It shows Batgirl riding her bike through Gotham to stop Doctor Freeze from manipulating the weather and flash freezing the city.
Gotham Knights can either be played solo or in co-op with another player. Robin joins the fray shortly after. The video shows close-quarters fighting reminiscent of Rocksteady’s Arkham series. However, it also features exploration portions where Batgirl uses her grappling hook to climb one of Gotham’s tallest buildings.
According to developers, players will choose how to approach encounters. Stealth will still be an option. Players level up, and enemies keep up with them. Boss battles against villains such as Doctor Freeze can be very different at levels 5 and 15. which is reflected in their stats.
Gotham Knights System Requirements
We don’t yet know what Gotham Knights’ system requirements will be, as there is still some time before release. We will be learning more as we move into 2022.
How much can Gotham Knights be purchased?
Gotham Knights will now be available for PC, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. The Steam page has already been up. You can also find it in the PlayStation and Microsoft stores. We don’t know the exact price, but it should cost between $40-$70, depending on your region.
