What you need to know

During DC FandDome, we received our first look at the rumored Batman game starring the Court of Owls. It is officially titledGotham Knights, and it stars the Bat Family after the apparent death of Bruce Wayne. With the Bat Cave gone, the team now operates out of the Belfry.

Batman is dead. It is now up to the Batman Family - Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin - to protect Gotham City, bring hope to its citizens, discipline to its cops, and fear to its criminals. You must evolve into the new Dark Knight and save Gotham from chaos.

The developer touts a “real, living Gotham City” that features 2-player co-op play between Robin, Batgirl, Night Wing, and Red Hood. And for those of you who prefer single-player, don’t worry, it can still be played solo. WB Games also promises that the Court of Owls won’t be the only mystery. Its nearly 8-minutegameplay trailerfocuses on Mr. Freeze and showcases the aforemention co-op gameplay in action.

Gotham will be compleyely open-world and Mr. Freeze is only just one of the villian encounters you’ll come across while exploring the city, using the Batcycle and the ever-useful grappling hook.

Gotham Knights is set to release in 2021 forXbox Series X,PS5, and PC. It is also coming to Xbox One and PS4.
