Gotham Knights ESRB Rating Adds Nintendo Switch

The ESRB seems to have revealed a new upcoming port for Gotham Knights.

The ESRB rating for the game has added the Nintendo Switch to its list of platforms on its rating page. The game is still rated T for Teen, with a description indicating violence, blood stains, alcohol, smoking, and some expletives.

Warner Bros did not disclose if the game at least broke even, but it seems they haven’t given up on it completely.

Only two months after releasing Gotham Knights, WB Games Montreal was reportedly already working on a new game. Earlier this year, Warner Bros’ DC related video game projects received a shakeup, when DC assigned a new team, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, to take charge of the superhero megaproperty.
