Gotham Knights: Trailers, story and all you need to know about the Batman family game

pocket-lint.com:

(Pocket-lint) — When Batman: Arkham Asylum first came out it redefined superhero games.

Its crunching, combo-based combat and fun exploratory navigation made for a heady gameplay blend. It was then followed by two, ever more excellent outings, Arkham City and Arkham Knight, each of which widened the series' scope. And a prequel game, Arkham Origins, filled out the quadrilogy.

Now, after more than six years, a fifth game with similar gameplay is heading our way — Gotham Knights. And, while it isn't technically set in the Arkham Universe, it shares similar themes and gameplay.

Here is what we know about it so far, the debut trailer and more. Enjoy.

After being heavily rumoured for months, Gotham Knights was fully unveiled during the first DC FanDome at the end of August 2020.

Originally planned for a 2021 release, it was put back to 2022 due to the ongoing pandemic. We now know that the final release date should be 25 October 2022.

Gotham will always need its heroes. Suit up for an all-new adventure on 10.25.22. <a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/GothamKnights?src=hash&ref_src=» https: www.pocket-lint.com rel="" target="_blank">#GothamKnights

The world premiere trailer was released as part of the first DC FanDome in August 2021.

In it, you get to see the new cast of playable characters — with Batman presumed dead. The multiple leads also makes for an interesting jump-in, jump-out co-op experience.

A second trailer was shown during the second DC Fandom in October 2022.

It shows the main villains of the piece — the Court of Owls. The Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot) also features.
