Gotham Knights is a cooperative online action game with elements of a role-playing game and a third-person view in a comic book setting. You will find a large open world in which there will be four playable characters at once: Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Red Hood (Jason Todd) and Robin (Tim Drake). Each hero will have their own unique abilities. In the universe of the game, Batman is dead, and you have to fight against a gang of Claws, led by the Court of Owls.

Gotham Knights is heaven for DC comics fans. The Warner Brothers title is due out later this year, so here's everything we know about the highly anticipated RPG.
It's safe to say that 2021 may have some heroes, but Gotham Knights isn't quite the DC saga that fans might expect. As Gotham City is taken over by corruption, you need to become the new hero of the iconic city.
Want to try your hand at being the new Batman? Here is everything you need to know about the new release.
Gotham Knights release date
While no date has been set for Warner Brothers' alternate take on the Batman saga, it was announced at DC Fandome 2020 that 2021 will be the game's release year. Further details have not yet been released.
Given the delays that have affected a number of games, we can probably expect them to ease up by the second half of the year, but this gives fans something to look forward to.
Gotham Knights trailers
We got our first taste of the Batman-inspired game in the form of the World Premier Trailer, which was dropped in the aforementioned 2020 DC fandom.
World Premiere Trailer
The trailer opens in the style of a newscast, featuring a big explosion that rocked Gotham City. Further details reveal that Bruce Wayne, the billionaire philanthropist better known as Batman, was killed in the incident.
We see each of our four new heroes receive a digital message called "Code Black" from a recently deceased hero, urging them to follow in his footsteps and keep Gotham safe.
A trailer for Knighthood, released a month later, also encourages fans to share any creative endeavors leading up to the event using #Knighthood.

What is this game?
Gotham Knights is set in a neo-dystopian future where Batman is dead and Gotham City is overrun with crime. The new "protectors" chosen by Batman as his successors, Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin take to the streets in an attempt to keep the city they hold dear safe.
Along the way, they will meet familiar faces, including Mr. Freeze, but something lurks beneath the city in chained coffins, waiting to be untied. What's this? It looks like the horrors of the Owls, and they are unhappy.
Gameplay Gotham Knights
Warner Brothers has prepared a detailed walkthrough showing the gameplay we can expect from Gotham Knights.
Walkthrough of the gameplay
While this snippet only showcases Bat Girl, we get a clear idea of what she can do, how the fights play out, and information about the vehicles you'll be using as well. It is important to note that you will be able to play as all knights, which in turn have their own unique characteristics.
- red hood: Combat and weapons specialist.
- Robin: Secrecy Specialist.
- Batgirl: Hacking Specialist.
- Nightwing: acrobatics specialist.
You will need to adapt to play all of these styles in order to progress through Gotham City. Since each character has a different storyline, it is expected that you will have to complete them all in order to fully complete the game.
Gotham Knights platforms
Gotham Knights coming to Microsoft Windows PC, Xbox One and Series X | S, as well as on Playstation 4 and 5.
Details on cross-platform and cross-gen play have yet to be confirmed, but we'll keep you up to date with all the latest news.
