Gotham Knights the developer Warner Bros. Montreal, has unveiled a slew of new game details about the upcoming PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC games, though nothing is incredibly juicy or super eye-catching. And unfortunately, there is no word of a release date that is more specific than the ‘2021’ window provided last year. Furthermore, there is no word on when we will see the Batman game next. As Warner Bros. Montreal, however, is doing the rounds with press, indicating that news is on the horizon.
For now, the developer has revealed that although the game was developed with four playable characters in mind, it was more specifically designed for collaboration with two players. According to the executive producer of Warner Bros. Montreal, Fleur Marty, the battle system has been completely overhauled Batman: Arkham Origins, the studio’s last game in this universe. And as indicated, this new system was created with the cooperation of two players.
“The two-player dynamic matches the fantasy and the Gotham City environment. The ‘duo’ or ‘team-up’ is such a central feature of the universe that there is a literal abbreviation for it in the comics, animation, film and TV shows “adds Patrick Redding, the game’s creative director. “Gotham is a city of alleys and rooftops, so the footprint for play must be compatible with it.”
The above couple confirm that the game can be played alone, and they also confirm that players will be able to switch between heroes at any time, although you should go to The Belfry, the version of the Batcave, of the game. In other words, characters will not be adaptable.
Although there are RPG elements in the game, players do not have to worry about enlarging each hero from scratch, and this is because the progression of the story is shared between all the characters.
“Since the story progression is shared between all the characters, it also makes sense that you don’t have to level it up from scratch every time you want to switch. It also remains very coherent in terms of our narrative,” Marty said. “Since the other members of the Batman family are always present in one way or another, while you are out of the world fighting crime or unraveling the mystery, they do not remain inactive, so it makes sense that they also progress and become stronger. ‘
This is where the details end, or at least this is where the details of the striking variety end, and at the moment there is no word on when we will hear the next match, currently published to appear this year.
