Gotham Knights, the open-world collaborative action game with Red Hood, Batgirl, Nightwing and Robin (but not Batman), will not meet the previously scheduled release date for 2021. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced a delay for the game on Friday, pushing the title to 2022.
“We give the game more time to deliver the best experience for players,” Warner Bros. says in a statement posted on the game’s official Twitter account. ‘Thank you so much to our wonderful fans for your tremendous support to Gotham Knights. We look forward to showcasing more of the game in the coming months. ”
WBIE announced Gotham Knights last summer at the DC Fandome event. The game was presented as a cooperative action adventure in Gotham City, which no longer has its famous protector, Batman. In the game, Bruce Wayne presumably perished in a massive explosion, but in a message to his surviving comrades, he tells them how to proceed in his absence. The antagonists of the game will be the Court of Owls, a secret society made up of Gotham’s richest families for generations.
Developer WB Games Montreal, responsible for Batman: Arkham Origins, is behind Gotham Knights. Batman: Arkham developer Rocksteady Studios is currently working on a new Suicide Squad game titled Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which is also planned for 2022.
Gotham Knights comes to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
