WB Montreal's upcoming Gotham Knights game has more riding on it than it may seem at first. While it is still based on characters in the Batman universe, Gotham Knights is the most ambitious DC video game since the Batman: Arkham series began, and one of the first in a long time to not feature Batman.

The first of a few DC games slated to come out over the next few years, Gotham Knights is releasing on October 25 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, after canceling Gotham Knights' PS4 and Xbox One versions. The game is a co-op RPG centered around the Batfamily fighting Gotham City crime in the aftermath of Bruce Wayne's death. The game will also feature some anticipated villains, with The Court of Owls making one of its first appearances outside of comic book pages.

However, other features look exciting. An entirely co-op game with an open-world Gotham City is an interesting prospect that will draw
