Set in Gotham City following the supposed death of Batman and Police Commissioner James Gordon, Gotham Knights lets you take on the role of one of several playable heroes in a bid to try to curb the criminal activity. After receiving a prerecorded message from Batman himself, Nightwing and company investigate Batman’s disappearance and come face to face with the secret society known as the Court of Owls and its assassins, the Talons.
The game will allow players to play solo if they wish in addition to opening up an optional two-play co-op mode with the second player dropping in and out at will. An area called the Belfry will be the base of operations in which Gotham’s protectors will keep up with each other and discuss plans. There, players can swap between characters, manage progression and head to the next mission when ready.
Looking to see when you’ll be able to play this new take on the Batman universe? We’ve got the details you need to know about the Gotham Knights release date below.
Gotham Knights Release Date: Play Four Days Early
Gotham Knights was previously set to debut October 25. Now, it was revealed during Gamescom that the release date is October 21. You’ll get to play four additional days early. If you have a squad of players you’d like to hit Gotham with and start cleaning it up in Batman’s stead, this gives you a few additional days to do so.
In May 2022, Warner Bros. Games Montreal debuted a 13-minute gameplay trailer showing off Red Hood and Nightwing in action, which offered additional glimpses at the game’s customization options, stealth gameplay and waves of fights that players can tackle with friends.
Unfortunately, there’s no demo or open beta to try ahead of Gotham Knights’ October debut. Right now, if you want to secure a spot in Gotham Knights, go ahead and preorder the game so you don’t miss out.
Gotham Knights will be available on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and PC when it arrives October 21, 2022.
