Warner Bros Games this week released a new Gotham Knights gameplay trailer, giving fans a sneak peek at the expansive open-world action RPG.
Players will also be treated to custom cutscenes of Red Hood (Jason Todd), an intense and trained marksman with a short fuse.
Having reached the peak of human strength, Red Hood excels in both ranged attacks and melee combat. He can also harness mystical powers to give him an edge in battle.
Resurrection may have changed him, but one thing is still true, Gotham City needs Red Hood.
Despite his complicated past, Red Hood has reconciled with the Batman Family and is committed to using non-lethal combat methods to protect Gotham City in the wake of Batman’s death.
Gotham Knights is an open-world, action RPG set in the most dynamic and interactive Gotham City created to date.
Play solo or team up with another hero to petrol Gotham’s five boroughs.
Welcome to the streets of Gotham City as you’ve never seen it before. Batman is dead and the criminal underworld is out of control.
It’s now up to the Gotham Knights – Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin – to restore order and serve justice to both cops and criminals alike.
“Go on adventures into the city’s darkest recesses, solve mysteries and defeat notorious villains in epic confrontations.
“From solving mysteries that connect the darkest chapters in the city’s history to defeating notorious villains in epic confrontations, players will confront an array of challenges,” Warner Bros said.
Gotham Knights is slated for worldwide release on 25 October 2022, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox (X and S).
The game’s executive producer, Fleur Marty said the latest instalment “is far more interesting” without Batman.
