Knights of Gotham Developer Warner Bros. Montreal has revealed a number of new gameplay details about upcoming games for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series S and PC, though nothing incredibly juicy or super featured. And unfortunately, there is no more specific release date than the “2021” window provided last year. Also, it is not known when we will see the Batman next game. However, if Warner Bros. Montreal is out and is doing the rounds with press, suggesting there is news on the horizon.
For now, the developer has revealed that while the game has been developed with four playable characters in mind, it has been designed more specifically for two-player cooperatives. According to the executive producer of Warner Bros. Montreal, Fleur Marty, the combat system has been completely overhauled Batman: Arkham Origins, the latest studio game in this universe. And, as alluded to, this new system has been created with the two-player cooperative in mind.
“The two-player dynamic adapts to the fantasy and environment of Gotham City. The ‘duo’ or team is a central feature of the universe that there is a literal abbreviation for the comic, animation, film and comedy versions. television, “adds Patrick Redding, the game ‘s creative director. “Gotham is a city of alleys and rooftops, so the footprint of the game has to be compatible with that.”
The aforementioned couple confirms that the game can be played alone and also confirm that players will be able to switch between heroes at any time, although you will have to go to The Belfry, the version of the Batcave game. In other words, the characters will not change on the fly.
Also, while there are role-playing elements in the game, players won’t have to worry about leveling up all the heroes, and this is due to the fact that the story progression is shared between all the characters.
“Because the progression of the story is shared between all the characters, it also makes sense that you don’t have to level up every time you want to change. It also stays very consistent in terms of our narrative,” Marty said. “Because the other members of the Batman family are always present in some way in the background, while you’re out in the world fighting crime or unraveling the mystery, they don’t stay idle. So it makes sense for them to progress as well and every stronger time “.
Here end the details, or at least here end the details of the most prominent variety, and right now it is unknown when we will know about the next game, which is currently scheduled to come out this year.
