If you cannot wait for the upcoming video game Gotham Knights, we have one good and one potentially bad news for you. The good news is that DC just revealed a brand-new gameplay video featuring Nightwing and Red Hood. Bad news? The game will not be released on last-gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, as it was initially announced.

On the official YouTube channel, DC revealed a 13-minute gameplay video that provides the best look yet at the game’s gameplay demo. We can see the game has a good vibe of the Batman: Arkham video game series, which isn’t really surprising considering that the authors of this game made Batman: Arkham Origins, which is the lowest-rated game of the franchise, but it still received favorable reviews from the fans.

Gotham Knights will feature four playable characters — Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin, and Batgirl — on their task to protect Gotham City after Batman’s death. The revealed gameplay video shows only Nightwing and Red Hood, but one additional video gave us a new look at Batgirl and her Batcycle.

You can check both videos below:

This is the first game that WB Games Montréal developed since 2013’s Batman: Arkham Origins, although they provided additional development for Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Knight downloadable content. They have experience with DC games, and Gotham Knights seems like their most ambitious project yet.

The game was first announced on DC FanDome 2020, with a release date set for 2021. The game was later delayed to 2022, still set to be released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Today, we found out that the game will not be released for last-gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, because they wanted to give players the best possible gaming experience on the next-gen consoles, although that could result in weaker selling of the game.

Gotham Knights is set to be released on October 25, 2022.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
