The costume and design was an amalgamation of Tim and Damian, but ultimately it was Drake who came out on top. As several crime fighters took on the name including Bruce Wayne’s own biological son Damian, it was finally confirmed post-DC FanDome that Tim Drake was the Robin featured in the game. One of the first questions that popped up in fans minds was the identity of Robin in the game. With Bruce Wayne and his alter ego apparently dead, players will now have the chance to play as his proteges in a new story that has been confirmed to be unrelated to Batman Arkham universe. This has potential to be one of the best DC games out there.As one of the first panels held during last weekend’s highly successful DC FanDome virtual event, “Gotham Knights” was WB Games Montreal’s reveal as their long awaited follow-up to their critically acclaimed “Batman: Arkham Origins” - only this time you play as one of The Dark Knight’s sidekicks in Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin, and Batgirl. It looks like a lot of work has gone into putting this game together, which is a good sign.
While we do not have an exact release date for the film, we can at least add it to the list of releases to look forward to in 2021. Nowhere in the city is ever completely safe. It is Gotham City, after all, where there are monsters lurking around every corner. One can expect to be thrilled by the overall vibe of Gotham Knights. The music included in the gameplay footage also adds to the intense atmosphere, giving the mission a sense of urgency. Since this game does not need to be a “canonical” Batman story (and it should be noted that canon in comic books can get iffy since there are many retcons), it should be allowed to go in its own direction, which could potentially be more interesting to the players. However, it would probably be more effective for his death to feel more consequential. Of course, there is the possibility that Batman could “come back to life” somehow, with comic book stories being what they are. With Jim Gordon also deceased, it may not be as easy for these knights to fight crime, with the GCPD potentially becoming a faction around which they may need to circumvent. This tease does just enough to pique one’s curiosity.Īs great of a hero as Batman is, it may be refreshing to have this story in which the characters whom he trained carry on his legacy. One can only speculate about what other surprises in terms of villains may also pop up in the game. It seems that we will be seeing birds go up against birds in this game, which will also have co-op as an option. Introduced in the New 52 comics, this is a secret society that has operated in Gotham City since colonial times. Hauntingly, the trailer ends with the reveal that the Court of Owls are involved. Freeze at his location, which is, of course, covered in ice. Freeze is even featured as a foe, and the seven minutes of gameplay that came out of this panel follow Batgirl as she takes on Mr. The trailer then goes on to show these crimefighters taking on the city with their respective skill sets and signature moves and weapons. Batman’s proteges then suit up, ready to fight crime in Gotham together. What we also learn from the message is that the Gotham City Police Department has not trusted the Bat Family since the death of Jim Gordon. In the message, Bruce says that he is leaving the Belfry for them to use as a base of operations. We get reaction shots featuring Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Jason Todd (Red Hood), and Tim Drake (Red Robin).
We even get to hear a message that he recorded with the intention to have it sent out in case he died. Apparently, the body of Bruce Wayne is found dead. The trailer opens with news reports about a building that has collapsed due to an explosion. While not a Batman game in the traditional sense, the story is definitely driven by the fate of Batman. Now, with their release of a trailer and gameplay, we know this game to be Gotham Knights, and it is coming in 2021. In the lead-up, there were hints here and there that it would be Batman-related. At the DC FanDome event, WB Games Montreal had a panel set to reveal a new game to the world.
