Gotham Knights release date: Batman spinoff game delay and latest news
With Batman and Commissioner Gordon dead, the Knights of Gotham must rise.
With the release date of Gotham Knights on the horizon, we’re slowly learning more about what Warner Bros. Montreal’s Batman spin-off has to offer.
And with The Game Awards 2021 scheduled to begin tonight (December 9, 2021), more Gotham Knights updates may be on the way.
Of course, there is little clue as to what upcoming games to expect at the show, but there has been a lot of speculation about potential appearances.
Set in the open world of Gotham City, the game will put players in the capes and hoods of the extended Bat family like never before. The story begins when Batman and Bruce Wayne are dead; Now Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and the Red Hood must protect Gotham City and save the street from the dark.
Without further ado, here’s everything we know so far about the game, starting with that release date delay.
Gotham Knights release date
The Gotham Knights release date will be in 2022. The game was originally scheduled to be released in 2021, but a delay was announced on Twitter in March.
“The Knights of Gotham will take off around the world in 2022,” said a photo attached to the tweet. The exact date of 2022 is not given, so this could be any time of the year.
Regarding the reasons for the lag, the tweet adds: “We’re giving the game more time to give players the best possible experience.”
The Gotham Knights release date has been delayed.
Its crushing combo-based combat and fun exploration navigation combine to make for a stunning mix of gameplay. This was followed by two more and more perfect tours, Arkham City and Arkham Knight, each of which extended the scope of the series. The quadrillogy was filled with a prequel game, Arkham Origins.
Gotham Knights trailers
The trailer for the world premiere was released as part of the first DC FanDome in August 2021.
In it you will see a new cast of playable characters – with Batman presumed dead. Repeatedly guiding also gives you an interesting jump-in-and-out co-op.
A second trailer was shown at the second DC Fandom in October 2022.
It presents the main villains of the song – Court of Owls. The Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot) also includes.
Gotham Knights plot, characters and villains
WARNING: IN FRONT OF SPOILERS.
The action takes place 15 years after Batman first took to the streets of Gotham, the Dark Knight is missing and presumed dead.
The city is still under threat from Super Villains, however, so the usually supportive cast of Bat family members: Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood.
Players can play each of the characters (sometimes two at a time, in cooperation mode), having different skills.
Batgirl (Barbara Gordon, who was previously Oracle) is most similar to Batman himself, with an array of martial arts skills.
Nightwing is the first Robin, Dick Grayson, to use two Escrim sticks to help eliminate enemies.
Red Hood is also a former Robin, Jason Todd who likes to use weapons and technology more to get his way. His appearance is further evidence that Gotham Knights is not set in the Arkham universe, as Todd proved to be the title Arkham Knight in that timeline.
Finally, the newer Robin, Tim Drake, is more focused on stealth than the others.
They’ll have to face several key comic book villains, including Mr Freeze (seen in the gameplay walkthrough below) and, as revealed in the latest trailer, the dark characters of the Court of Owls.
The Court of Owls has been ubiquitous in Gotham for centuries and has had ancestral ties to both the Wayne and Grayson families. They used their enormous fortunes to influence both Gotham City’s architecture and political decisions for their own purposes. They hated Batman, believing they were the only saviors the people of Gotham needed.
Robin
Тим Дрейк, может быть, самый младший at Бэт-семье, но он and самый умный, а также является непрененененененененененен.

Batgirl

What better said than the game’s official synopsis: “The game takes place in Gotham City, following the deaths of Bruce Wayne / Batman and Police Commissioner James Gordon, which increased crime and lawlessness.
Batman Arkham Legacy Story – Court of Owls and Ra’s Al Ghul
We don’t really know anything about the history of the new Batman game – and a lot of it depends on whether it’s played before Batman Arkham Asylum (like Origins) or after Arkham Knight. Regardless, for a long time the strongest rumor has been that the Owl Court – an ominous organization made up of Gotham’s most influential people – will be antagonists, and Court creator Scott Snyder apparently endorses it.
We can get some information from the four symbols in the game. One seems to show an owl’s head to the side, confirming a previous rumor – but the clearest symbol is the Demon’s Head, the symbol of Ra’s Al Ghul and the Killer League. It is entirely possible that these four symbols refer to factions trying to carve Gotham City – and remove Batman, if “Capture the Knight” has any meaning.
We hope to find out more at the Video Game Awards next month! Stay tuned, same time for bats, same website for bats.

What are the rumors about Batman Arkham: Court of Owls?
Rumor has it that the Court of Owls game started out as the canceled Batman Arkham game with Damian Wayne rather than Bruce. It’s a shame it didn’t, but we’ve got some nice concept art to remember. Maybe some of them will still be used in the new game?
If rumors are to be believed, more than one game could be made behind closed doors at Warner Bros. Could it be that the Damien Wayne-centric game is still being developed with the Court of Owls? Perhaps.
We’ll keep you updated on all things Batman Arkham: Court of Owls here.
They’ll have to face several key comic book villains, including Mr Freeze (seen in the gameplay walkthrough below) and, as revealed in the latest trailer, the dark characters of the Court of Owls.
Gotham Knights Game Release Date
Gotham Knights has no set release date, but has been pushed back to 2022 by publisher WB Games as it needed more development time. We’re expected to hear an update to the design, and perhaps even get a real and solid release date at DC FanDome 2021 on October 16, 2021.
The Court of Owls made its debut in New 52 Batman (2011-2016) and was created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. They were Batman’s new major enemies for several years in the DC comics The New 52, and have since appeared in adaptations such as the Fox series Gotham and the animated film Batman vs. Robin.
The Court of Owls has been ubiquitous in Gotham for centuries and has had ancestral ties to both the Wayne and Grayson families. They used their enormous fortunes to influence both Gotham City’s architecture and political decisions for their own purposes. They hated Batman, believing they were the only saviors the people of Gotham needed.
The Court of Owls was able to provide its members with superhuman resilience and an exceptionally long life. They also showed that they are able to bring members of the court back to life many times. The folks in the DC Universe don’t believe the Court of Owls exists, and until they attacked Batman, he couldn’t find any evidence that they were more than fiction.
Playable Heroes in Gotham Knights
Nightwing (Dick Grayson)
Nightwing was once a Robin who first appeared in Detective Comics # 38 (April 1940). Dick Grayson was the original Robin, the one everyone thinks of when they think of a Gotham boy wonder. Now an adult, he has become Nightwing’s acrobatic ranger.
Robin (Tim Drake)
Tim Drake is the third person to be Robin and made his debut in Batman # 436 (August 1989). Of the midfielders, he is by far the best and brightest detective. He became Robin after he found out who Batman was because “Batman Needs Robin”.
Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)
Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Commissioner Gordon. She is also the most iconic character known as Vigilante Batgirl. She was featured in Detective Comics # 359 (January 1967). In some stories, she is paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by the Joker. In these timelines, uses the Oracle Watchdog name instead.
Red Hood (Jason Todd)
Jason Todd is the second Robin to debut in Batman # 357 (March 1983). For a long time he was the Robin everyone overlooked. He was unpopular with readers, leading to the Joker being beaten to death in the short story “Death in the Family” due to the result of a telephone poll to determine his fate.
In a recent but iconic 2006 story called “Batman: Under the Hood”, Jason Todd was resurrected as a murderous anti-hero who blamed Batman for not killing the Joker in revenge for his death. As part of his new pro-murder show, he argued with Batman several times until he decided to repent and change his behavior. Jason started using rubber balls and rejoined the Bat-Family in Batman Incorporated’.

Spin-Offs
Batman: Arkham City Lockdown
Release Date: December 7, 2011
Platforms: iOS, Android
Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is a mobile game released shortly after Arkham City. It was solely focused on combat and featured many of the characters we’ve already seen in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. No wonder it didn’t offer much in terms of plot and was a rather brief experience.
It was originally released for iOS in 2011, about two weeks after Arkham City, and only came out for Android devices in June 2013. It has since been removed from both the App Store and Play Store.
Batman: Arkham Origins (Mobile)
Release Date: October 16, 2013
Platforms: iOS, Android
Just like Lockdown accompanied the Arkham City release, the mobile version of Arkham Origins accompanied the main game. Only this time, the mobile game actually appeared before the main title. And like Lockdown, it was a limited arcade game offering little in terms of plot and variety.
It debuted on iOS in 2013 and was introduced to Android in July 2014, but like Lockdown, it has been removed from the Apple and Google app stores.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
Release Date: October 25, 2013
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, 3DS, PlayStation Vita
Also released with Arkham Origins, Arkham Origins Blackgate is a side-scroll game developed primarily for handheld consoles. Even though it is a 2.5D game and not a 3D game, the mechanics of the main series are surprisingly well translated into the new format, featuring both smooth combat and well-crafted stealth sequences.
However, many felt that Blackgate was simply a watered-down handheld version of Arkham Origins with limited gameplay and repetitive level design, so reception wasn’t great.
The game was originally only released for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, but was also ported to PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and Windows in 2014.
Batman: Arkham Underworld
Release Date: Jul 14, 2016
Platforms: iOS, Android
Batman: Arkham Underworld is a short-lived mobile strategy game that actually puts the player in the shoes of the famous criminals of Gotham, unlike any other game where the main character is Batman.
It was released for both iOS and Android in 2016, but was quickly retired from both the App Store and Play Store the following year.
Batman: Arkham VR
Release Date: October 11, 2016
The Final Word
And there you have it, all the Batman Arkham games released so far!
The sequel to the Arkham series is called Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and its premiere is scheduled for 2022. Of course, this is not a Batman game, but it is a continuation of the story of the Arkham series.
Then there’s Gotham Knights, a game set to premiere in 2022 that will focus on Batman’s allies after his apparent death, with four playable characters, although not actually part of the Arkham franchise.
