You can forget to play Gotham Knights on previous generation consoles. In addition to a 13 minutes gameplay demo (below), WB Games Montreal has revealed that the Batman adjacent open world game will no longer be released for PS4 or Xbox One. You’ll need a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S to save Gotham City from your living room. The studio said it was cutting the older machines to provide the “best gaming experience possible,” though we wouldn’t be surprised if this helped WB meet the game’s October 25 release date.
WB revealed Gotham Knights in the summer of 2020, but delayed the game to 2022 less than a year later. The company settled on the October launch in March.
The gameplay demo, meanwhile, offers a good idea of ​​the variety you can expect. Each of the four superheroes plays very differently. You could choose Nightwing for acrobatic, melee-focused combat, while Red Hood thrives on its (non-lethal) weapons. Crime solving can rely on everything from outright brawls to motorcycle chases and augmented reality sleuthing. Crafting and improving skills will be helpful, as in so many recent titles. In many ways, this is DC Comics/WB’s response to Insomniac’s Spider-Man games – it’s an attempt to blend free-roaming action with a meaningful story.
