It was previously set for this year

Gotham Knights has been delayed, meaning that the brand new co-op successor to the Arkham show is no longer set to arrive this season.

WB Games Montreal had stated the launch date for Gotham Knights would arrive some time in 2021, and in an upgrade to its official Twitter accounts it revealed that strategy was no more in the cards. We are going to have to wait until 2022 to descend upon Gotham together with the Bat-family. Here’s the message from Gotham Knights’ official Twitter accounts :

“We’re giving the game more time to supply the very best possible experience for gamers. Thanks to our amazing fans for your tremendous assistance of Gotham Knights. We look forward to showcasing all those matches in the coming months.”

Gotham Knights was initially announced in the DC Fandome particular occasion in August 2020, where WB Games Montreal verified that it would tell its story collection in a different fiction in Rocksteady’s Arkham trilogy (which will be continuing in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League). Within this world, Batman is dead – really dead – and his last act was to put the call out to Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin to reunite at the Belfry and keep the origin of protecting Gotham in his absence.

WB Games Montreal has shown that Gotham Knights will contain”completely redesigned” combat in the Arkham series, and while it’s going to be playable entirely in co-op, you could also finish the game solo if you would rather .
