A new Gotham Knights trailer has been released featuring Batgirl kicking some serious ass.
In the video, there are scenes of Batgirl using her acrobatic skills to fight various enemies, riding her motorcycle, using Batarangs, falling on enemies or doing strategic maneuvers with a grappling device, and more.
Announced at DC FanDome in 2020, the upcoming action RPG features four playable characters: Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin, each with unique abilities and playstyle.
For most of the game day, you’ll hang out in the bell tower, where you can switch characters, make progression-related changes, and prepare for the next mission. The game will change at night when you leave the bell tower.
The game’s premise finds Batman/Bruce Wayne and Commissioner Gordon dead, leading to an increase in crime. Taking on the role of one of four playable characters, you are tasked with trying to return Gotham to a legal state.
Enemies in the game include the Court of Owls, Mr. Freeze, and the Penguin. But there seems to be no Joker.
You’ll also come into contact with allies like Batman’s butler Alfred Pennyworth and police captain Renee Montoya.
Gotham Knights can be played solo or with a friend in two-player drop-in co-op mode.
Originally slated for 2021 before being delayed to 2022, the game will arrive on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) on October 25.
