Your legacy begins now. Step into the Knight…
There were rumblings and rumors of a new Batman-centered game as early as December of 2019. The main question was, who would develop it? Would it be Rocksteady Studios, long time developer of three separate Batman games? Would it be WB Montreal, one time developer of Batman Arkham Origins. Or, would it be a new company, eager to put players behind the cowl of the The Batman. We finally have our answer:
Gotham Knights is the next game in The Batman story coming to players from WB Montreal studios. They garnered praise for their Batman “side-story” game entitled ‘Arkham Origins’ back in 2013. They are back with new hardware, new software, new gaming engines, and a new story.
Bruce Wayne is missing and presumed, meaning the city of Gotham is left without a protector. But the world’s greatest detective did not leave without an contingency plan. He has left the members of his crime-fighting “bat-family” with one message, “Keep Gotham safe”.
That job now belongs to 4 characters, 4 members of his family who have long rich comic traditions. Dick Grayson, the former robin who grew towards his own path as the vigilante Nightwing. Tim Drake, the current robin who sports an eye for technology. Barbara Gordon, a skilled fighter and the daughter of one of Batman’s closest friends, and Jason Todd. The problematic once-dead Robin who’s learned to love pistols more than a bat signal. Together they must solve the mystery of Batman’s disappearance, and keep the citizens of Gotham safe. Coming to current generation consoles (Playstation 4 and Xbox One) and next generation consoles. (Playstation 5, Xbox One Series X, and PC).
