What's New in Gotham Knights?

All the versions of Gotham Knight show off an incredibly detailed Gotham City that Batgirl, Red Hood, Nightwing, and Robin have to protect since Batman has seemingly been killed. The story of each character will show their perspective of the events that are occurring, so if players want the full story, they will have to play through multiple storylines. Each storyline will feel different from the others as all of these heroes have unique abilities and playstyles that will add extra replayability to the game.

Some of the enemies that show up will already be known, like Mr. Freeze, but there are others — like the Court of the Owls that players have never seen in the previous Batman games to face off against. Previously, these villains haven’t even shown up in the movies, so we have no idea the strength of these new foes. It’s nice seeing new enemies/baddies introduced that only fans of the Batman comics or the television Gotham — their own major media appearance — would be familiar with.

In the previous Arkham games, you always played as Batman; you didn’t have the option to switch between various characters (outside of the DLC). So Gotham Knights will offer a completely new experience when you can select who you want to play as using their weapons and vehicles that you haven’t had a chance to use before. Personally, I can’t wait to ride Batgirl’s motorcycle around Gotham; from the footage we have seen, it looks amazing. Plus, it will be nice to have the option to play as one of the male heroes or a female hero and have a viewpoint of other characters fighting for Gotham that aren’t Batman.
