As you may have heard, Batman is dead. Before he glided menacingly off this mortal coil, he apparently left a bunch of unfinished Gotham business behind him. Ah, Gotham—the city that never runs out of bad guys. Into the vacuum of Batman’s absence step the Gotham Knights, each dealing with their own internal and interpersonal struggles while continuing the ruthless fight to keep the city’s malevolent forces at bay. This time, it’s a dude in a shiny owl mask who seems to be pulling the evil strings. On the eve of the game’s release, Intel Gaming Access traded special moves with Creative Director Patrick Redding, Executive Producer Fleur Marty, and Technical Director Marc Moulis from Warner Bros. Games to get to the heart of the fight for the city’s soul.
In a nutshell, Gotham Knights is a third-person, open-world action-RPG set in DC’s Batman universe. You can play solo, or team up with another player in online co-op, to take on the burden of protecting post-Batman Gotham City. Step into the boots of a new generation of heroes—Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, or Robin—and untangle a dark mystery with roots that stretch back to the founding of Gotham itself.
“Gotham Knights is a fresh interpretation of DC’s Batman universe that has a completely original story and puts the focus on young heroes reaching for their full potential,” said Fleur. Players will take on the fabled Court of Owls, who first entered the Batman canon in 2011 in a now legendary comics storyline of the same name. “Fans of the Batman family from the comics, films, animated series, and games will find many familiar elements,” added Fleur.

The game invites players to patrol a dynamic and interactive Gotham City. “Each night of crime-fighting kicks off from the heroes' base of operations—the Belfry—where players can upgrade their abilities and gear, and use iconic investigative tools to advance their story,” Fleur explained. “Players are free to use whichever hero they want, both in single-player and co-op, and level up their heroes in tandem.” In the open-world of Gotham City, players can use a variety of navigational methods to get around and drop in on crime as it happens. “Whether they’re taking on the main gang factions, uncovering new leads to advance the main storyline, or chasing down one of the major villains from Batman's rogues’ gallery, players will find new surprises and new dangers,” said Fleur.
Gotham Knights has taken an ambitious approach to delivering its superhero fantasy. There are four distinct playable heroes from start to finish, each of whom is brought to life with unique abilities, spectacular movesets, and a full range of gameplay and visual customization features. “As each hero progresses, they continue to evolve their own unique style and direction as they take on a greater role in the protection of Gotham's citizens,” said Patrick. “Players can forge the hero they want into something more—into a symbol.”

The rendering of Gotham in the game is sublime, and a perfect backdrop for the slick combat and eye-popping effects in the game. “We’ve crafted Gotham Knights as a very immersive experience. From the art direction to the sound design,” said Marc. “We have put a lot of thought and care into creating a very atmospheric Gotham City, where everything tells a story, even when no words are spoken.” 
To get the most out of Gotham Knights, it’s advisable to reproduce the physical experience of Gotham as accurately as possible. Turning out the lights is a great start. “I think the best way for PC gamers to fully experience our game is to sit comfortably in a dark room, put on their headphones and take the time to explore our city and immerse themselves in it,” said Marc. “Our game fully supports mouse and keyboard controls, but we do recommend playing it with a gamepad for the most optimal experience.”

Batman might be six feet under (or is he?), but the Gotham Knights have a long road lined with thrills ahead of them. “On November 29, we will be releasing a big free content update for Gotham Knights, bringing the Heroic Assault mode to all our players,” said Patrick. “This standalone mode is separate from the main story campaign and supports up to four players in online co-op, providing a dedicated arena-like environment with specific objectives to complete and enemies to defeat on each floor.” Prepare yourself, there’s work to be done in Gotham—the kind of work that makes reputations and flattens enemies.
