How much of that you’re going to want to actually get off the bike and explore is yet to be seen, but it’s a great setting to get between missions.

There are neon signs, shop windows and street lamps that set the mood incredibly well. The game is exclusively set at night, and this makes the world look even better. There’s a huge sense of speed as you’re flying through the snow-covered streets. Players will be able to explore Gotham using the Batcycle, and from the footage shown so far, it looks like an incredibly fun way to tear up the cobbled streets of the city. Beginning a mission will fast forward until nighttime because skulking on rooftops in bright costumes is slightly less intimidating at 3 in the afternoon. With the Batcave closed for renovations, the new fab four will spend their days in the Belfy, where you’ll be able to prepare for missions, choose which characters you’re going to play as, and change your equipment. This could certainly be an interesting twist, frankly, having a second player means that the game would need to do something to increase the difficulty from the traditional Arkham series, but we’re slightly worried that with enemy levels, and the implication of gear drops and upgrades that the game will edge slightly too forcefully towards an Outriders or The Division-like. So unlike the Arkham games wherein boss fights typically occur in a linear fashion, with a power level that’s only really developed by the difficulty the player sets, in Gotham Knights, the order in which players take down the villains that populate the open world will impact their strength, and what attacks and abilities they have access too. How a character like Red Hood, who uses firearms, or Nightwing will differ is yet to be seen, but they run the risk of being too similar, with Robin and Nightwing being at the highest risk of feeling redundant.Īnother huge difference from the Arkhamverse from a gameplay perspective is that players and villains now have levels, and supervillains, such as a Mr Freeze fight that has been shown in prerelease material, can be tackled at multiple levels.
In the brief gameplay that’s been shown off so far, Batgirl adopts Batman’s more stealthy approach, whereas Robin excels in closer combat. Firstly, the game has to make each of the characters actually feel distinct. The key to Gotham Knight’s success is twofold. “With Batman: Arkham Origins, despite a strong reception from fans, the game always felt like the black sheep of the series, despite being a canonical prequel.” The entire game can be played either single-player or in two-player co-op, which is a huge change for the series. This isn’t impossible, as it’s been hinted at in the series, but it doesn’t seem likely. While there was some initial confusion as to whether or not the new game would be included in the Arkham canon, the finale of Arkham Knight would make the inclusion of a few of the main characters impossible, so it’s very unlikely this is a swerve to mislead fans unless multi-verses are in play. Firstly, despite featuring characters featured in the Arkhamverse, Gotham Knights is not set in the same universe as the Batman: Arkham games.
Montreal seem to be intentionally set the game apart.
This wasn’t helped by the fact that Rocksteady would routinely refer to their story as a trilogy, listing Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and Arkham Knight as deliberately separate from Arkham Origins.
