New Gotham Knights Video Shows Off First 16 Minutes Of Gameplay
A new trailer for Gotham Knights highlights the game’s core action and stealth mechanics by showing off the first several minutes of gameplay. Nearly two years ago, Batman: Arkham Origins developer WB Montreal unveiled its brand-new DC-based superhero action title that takes place in a world where Batman has died. In his place, a team of his former protégés rises up to defend the perpetually crime-ridden city from various evil forces like Gotham Knights' nebulous Court of Owls and classic foes like Mr. Freeze in a storyline separate from Rocksteady’s critically-acclaimed Batman: Arkham series.
While its storyline may be divorced from the previous line of excellent Batman video games, Gotham Knights still seems to borrow some of the most notable elements from the Arkham franchise — namely rhythmic-yet-brutal combat and tactical stealth gameplay that gives players the choice of either tackling a room full of enemies head-on or slowly cutting them down one at a time from the shadows. What sets Gotham Knights apart from the past Batman titles is the game’s roster of four playable heroes, each one with their own unique fighting styles and gadgets to help take down the forces of evil. Previous Gotham Knights gameplay trailers have demonstrated how Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin each handle the mean streets of Gotham City, but now viewers can see how they all come together in their shared mission of carrying on in their late mentor’s place.
