Warner Bros. Montreal has been teasing the next
Batman
game ever since last year, keeping fans on the edge about the highly-anticipated reveal. Last year, the first confirmation that it was indeed a
Batman
game came from
a promotional tweet from the studio
, seemingly revealing the involvement of several known elite factions from Gotham. From that point on, the amount of teasers grew, and the final reveal is poised to make an arrival during DC FanDome.
Ahead of the virtual convention, the studio took it up a notch in terms of the execution of such teasers for the upcoming game. A couple of promotional materials in the form of a
newly launched website
and Twitter account surfaced online in the past week, providing fans with clues about the overall outlook of the game.

“You’re not trying to become the new Batman, you’re becoming your own badass superhero”
Warner Bros. Games Montreal creative producer Patrick Redding shared the three consistent ideas at the heart of
Gotham Knights
. These include the whole cast of playable characters that will
“continue to grow and reinvent themselves,”
a
“real living breathing Gotham city”
that will keep challenging the gamers, and the fantasy of the superhero team-up that will be delivered by co-op play.
Marty revealed that the Belfry will become an
“important location”
in
Gotham Knights
.

One final note before the panel ended, the producers of
Gotham Knights
revealed that the mystery of the game is way bigger than just the Court of Owls.

WHAT THIS MEANS
After a long wait,
Gotham Knights
has finally arrived. The panel of Warner Bros. Montreal from DC FanDome was only expected to reveal the official title, but it featured a fun surprise in the form of exclusive gameplay footage. The footage that was shown showed a glimpse of the version of Gotham that will be featured.
There is no doubt that the storyline of
Gotham Knights
is unique in its own right since it will feature the death of the Dark Knight. The trailer of
Gotham Knights
outright showed the fate of Batman, seemingly revealing that the Caped Crusader will be in the sidelines for most of the game’s story. A similar narrative is already being done in CW’s
Batwoman
as well as the animated movie
Batman: Bad Blood
. It is currently unknown how
Gotham Knights
will solve the mystery of character’s disappearance, but it’s a safe bet that Batman is far from dead.

Part of the fun of this new Batman game is by placing the spotlight on several members of the Bat-family. This development provides a chance to flesh out these characters while offering an opportunity for fans to control these amazing heroes.
No release date has been revealed yet, but it is expected that it will debut sometime next year. There’s a chance that more details about
Gotham Knights
will be revealed as 2021 approaches. Until then, the massive reveals from the game’s panel will keep fans in-check.
