Gotham Knights: the creative director of WB Games reveals more details about the game

As you well know, on the occasion of the DC FanDome, held last 22th August, WB Games Montreal has finally shown his brand new project, Gotham Knights, an open world action role-playing game with a story inspired and shaped by the larger Batman. The title is not a sequel to the famous Arkham series, but delves into unexplored aspects of the famous superhero team. After the short announcement trailer shown during the highly anticipated DC event, we can finally find out more details about the new Gotham Knights by WB Games Montréal, thanks to the recent interview with the creative director of the game, Patrick Redding, recently reported on the official blog of PlayStation.

The Canadian development team's action RPG features four playable characters; Barbara gordon, Dick grayson, Jason todd e Tim Drake, each featuring their own fighting style, creating a powerful mix of play styles, whether you decide to tackle the adventure solo or in co-op with two players. According to Redding's words, Red Hood is a brutal brawler, with a main focus on shootings. The stunts of Nightwing they bring the gameplay to a more exaggerated fighting style, while the current one Robin prefers stealth. While with regard to Batgirl, the superheroine of the DC universe tends not only to alternate in a particularly efficient way the melee fights with those at a distance, but to "arm" the surrounding environment using hacking. But that's not all, since the creative director has also dwelt on the storyline of the title. Here are his words:

It is not a story set in one night, but it focuses on the medium and long term growth of the heroes. The game offers players an enormous amount of growth and a large amount of objectives, in an open world environment that they need to protect.

Clearly, one of the largest and most complex characters in the Dark Knight universe, he is Gotham itself. Working with DC, WB Montreal created the Gotham Knights open world drawing inspiration and inspiration from the most iconic comics neighborhoods, film e TV series, creating a city "alive" and full of dangers, with a new threat that has its roots in the very foundations of Gotham's history: the Court of Owls.

There are places and places that are iconic, that have a history.

The creative director went on to explain how the Court's long history with the city, and their inclusion as the main antagonist force, meant that the studio looked to Gotham "as a historic place", thus influencing its design and architecture. .

The story is rooted in the architecture and foundations, in the foundations of every square in the city.

We want you to feel the full weight of the work to protect Gotham City. Regardless of whether you're dealing with a little street gang on the corner somewhere or a great supervillain like Mister Freeze.

At the moment the development team has not announced any launch window or official release date, but Gotham Knights will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC in 2021.
