As we all know, the upcoming Gotham Knights will arrive sometime this year. The exact date the game will be out has yet to be confirmed. However, there is more news regarding this highly anticipated title. According to WG Games Montreal, even though Gotham Knights will have a very similar ‘feel’ to the previous Batman Arkham games, the combat on the other hand is “entirely redesigned” to work with the game’s main focus on co-op play.
Gotham Knights creative director Patrick Redding explains that “The two-player dynamic fits the fantasy and the Gotham City setting. The ‘duo’ or team-up is such a central feature of the universe that there’s a literal shorthand for it in the comic, animation, film, and TV versions. Gotham is a city of alleyways and rooftops, so the footprint for gameplay needs to be compatible with that”
Even if you opt to play the game solo, it is pretty cool when you realize that during the story’s progression, you can switch between heroes. As we all know, Gotham Knights tells the story of Robin, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Nightwing as they go to protect the city of Gotham after the death of Batman.
