Gotham Knights looks spectacular in this PC features trailer

WB Games Montréal is implementing PC-specific features like ultrawide support and AI-enhanced upscaling.

There’s less than a month left until Gotham Knights releases, and the PC version looks particularly fantastic.

On Tuesday, WB Games Montréal released a new trailer for Gotham Knights going over PC-specific features. There’s support for ultrawide and multi-monitor setups, along with options for staggeringly high framerates. Tech enthusiasts will be happy to hear Intel XeSS-powered AI-enhanced is upscaling and ray traced reflections are front-and-center too. It’s a safe bet that this won’t be another middling PC port — hopefully, anyways!

Check out the Gotham Knights PC features for yourself below. Slight spoilers are within, as it opens with Bruce Wayne’s narration letting listers know that he’s gone off to bat-heaven in the sky.

There’s less plot information than in past trailers, but that’s probably for the best. Gotham Knights is coming out on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The initial release date was Oct. 25, 2022, but Warner Bros. moved things up by a few days.

Co-op is an integral part of Gotham Knights. Despite what the four playable character promotional materials imply, only two players can bust-criminal heads at any time. It’s a bummer, but there’s probably plenty of fun to be had in duos.

Gotham Knights will not support four-player co-op

The Bat Family only works in pairs, apparently.

Earlier this week, the PlayStation Store page for Gotham Knights suggested that four-player online co-op was a feature. Sadly, it looks like that probably isn’t the case.

On Tuesday, Warner Brothers Montréal released a gameplay trailer for Gotham Knights. The footage only shows single-player escapades, which obviously doesn’t help clarify how extensive the co-op options are. However, the PlayStation Store now states that Gotham Knights only supports up to two players online. The Bat family (sadly) only works in pairs, it seems.

It’s a huge bummer, no doubt. Warner Brothers Games routinely highlights all four playable characters (Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and Red Hood) in advertisements, so it’s understandable why so many people were expecting four-player co-op. Personally, my interest in this one took a nose dive upon learning this.

It’s worth noting that Warner Brothers Games hasn’t explicitly shot down four-player rumors. Though the quiet PSN listing update is probably all the confirmation you need. Maybe things will change by launch, but I certainly wouldn’t count on it.

Gotham Knights is coming out on Oct. 25, 2022, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Originally, there were PS4 and Xbox One versions, but both are officially canceled.

Gotham Knights gameplay trailer shows a lot more than co-op Batman

There’s a new trailer available for Gotham Knights and it’s a full 13 minutes of thug-thumping, city-exploring, bike-riding goodness.

There’s a new trailer available for Gotham Knights and it’s a full 13 minutes of thug-thumping, city-exploring, bike-riding goodness.

You can watch it right here.

You can still see a lot of the DNA of the Arkham games in there – from combos, to NPC dialogue, to UI and tools – but plenty of new stuff too. It’s taken on a lot of the open-world leanings off many other games, with a hub area and upgradeable armour.

Notably abscent is any mention of additonal co-op, and a reconfirmation of two-player-only, despite rumours to the contrary in recent days. Co-op combat looks fun and responsive, but the whole thing definitely doesn’t feel as smooth and different as Arkham did in its heyday. There’s certainly some animation oddities in there as well. Plus I laughed at “non-lethal rounds.”

No change to release date or other major additions – but the game is no longer coming out for Xbox One or PlayStation 4, “to provide players with the best gameplay experience.” Translation: those other platforms take a lot to develop for and optimisation wasn’t worth it for the additional sales it might generate.

No doubt we’ll see more of Gotham Knights in the Summer’s game events as we run up to October 25.

Gotham Knights could get four-player co-op according to store listings

Upcoming Arkham pseudo-sequel and all-around DC beat-em-up RPG Gotham Knights looks like it might be getting an upgrade from two-player co-op to the full four.

Upcoming Arkham pseudo-sequel and all-around DC beat-em-up action adventure Gotham Knights looks like it might be getting an upgrade from two-player co-op to the full four. Notably, this means one player on each of the characters that will be available in the game, and has been much-requested (and oft-assumed by the less-invested).

The news comes from the ever-reliable source of online store listings. Via ResetEra, here’s the PSN listing that very clearly states “up to 4 online players” and “4 network players.” That’s in contrast with the official site that says you can play solo or “with one other hero.” Other listings, like Steam, don’t make a statement one way or the other beyond a copy-paste of what’s said on the official site.

Many folks had assumed this was already the case, while those who’ve kept a keen eye on the game are surprised after so much clear communication of it being two-player only. This could be an over-enthusiastic but under-informed update on the Playstation end, or a pending new announcement. The game has been in development for a while, and clearly with four main characters you would assume this was, at some stage, always the plan.

It’s worth pointing out some other oddities on the PSN page. It says for example that a “release date is yet to be determined” and then under that has the announced release date of October 25. It also has the same copy-pasted passage about “one other hero” in the game description.

We’ve reached out to Warner Bros. for clarification and will update if they get back to us.

Gotham Knights is coming out this October

Batman’s protege will defend Gotham City this fall.

After years of hype and delays, Gotham Knights finally has a release date.

On Wednesday, Warner Brothers Games announced that Gotham Knights is coming out on October 25, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. 

The release date news came out of nowhere, as we’ve not seen or heard anything about Gotham Knights since DC Fandome last fall. There’s no new trailer or screenshots, just a single post on developer Warner Brothers Montréal’s social media pages. Probably to capitalize off of hype for The Batman since everyone is still going bananas over that movie. Smart move, really!

The basic plot for Gotham Knights is Batman is dead. Yup, someone finally clapped the caped crusader, and now it’s up to Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red hood to protect Gotham City. It’ll be a four-player online co-op affair in a semi-open-world, so perfect material skull-cracking material with friends.

While Gotham Knights will play similarly to Arkham series, Warner Brothers Montréal only made Batman: Arkham Origins. Rocksteady Studios, the team behind Batman: Arkham Asylum, is currently making Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which is due out next year.
