Gamescom Opening Night Live featured tons of new and exciting announcements. However, Gotham Knights getting preponed has to be one of the most surprising announcements of all. WB Games Montreal's upcoming action role-playing title set in the Batman universe will be released four days earlier than planned.

Gotham Knights is one of the most anticipated titles coming out this year. Suffice to say, Gamescom Opening Night Live was the perfect opportunity for publisher WB Games to give the title one final marketing push.

The announcement of a new release date for Gotham Knights during Gamescom comes with a brand new trailer featuring the rogues' gallery that players will go up against in the game. The new trailer also gives a better look at the heroes of Gotham Knights and also showcases the improved graphical fidelity of the title.

Since Gotham Knights' announcement back in 2020, fans have been eagerly waiting to finally get their hands on the game. Although it was previously speculated that Gotham Knights was a part of Rocksteady's Batman Arkham universe, it was later confirmed by WB Games Montreal not to be the case.

Instead, Gotham Knights is a standalone title that is set after Batman's death, but not after the events of Batman Arkham Knight. Gotham Knights sees players take on the roles of members of the Bat family, that being Robin aka Tim Drake, Nightwing aka Dick Grayson, Red Hood aka Jason Todd, and Batgirl aka Barbara Gordon.

Although the game is a single-player adventure, it features co-op elements, allowing players to share their adventures in the streets of Gotham with up to three other players. The announcement of the game's early release during Gamescom was a total surprise for fans.
