Gotham Knights PS4, Xbox One versions canceled. Watch the new gameplay trailer

Gotham Knights won’t be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, developer Warner Bros. Games Montreal making the announcement in a new gameplay trailer featuring Red Hood and Nightwing. WB Games Montreal has already worked on Batman: Arkham Origins. Gotham Knights is set in an alternate timeline where Batman/Bruce Wayne has apparently been killed. In the Gotham Knights trailer, the developer briefly mentioned that the game won’t be coming to next-gen consoles “to give players the best gaming experience possible.”

When originally announced in 2020, Gotham Knights was slated to arrive in 2021 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. WB Games Montreal then pushed its release in March of last year. Gotham Knights is now set to arrive this year on October 25 on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X.

The 13-minute Gotham Knights gameplay trailer features new footage with Red Hood and Nightwing in co-op and single-player, offering deep insight into their distinct abilities and fighting styles. It shows how the two characters individually traverse Gotham City, along with a sweet chase sequence on the Bat Cycle. The Gotham Knights trailer also offers a look at the game’s RPG elements, including blueprints and crafting materials to customize a loadout. Notably, after apparently being criticized for the game’s previously featured interface, the developer has now specifically mentioned that players can completely customize the UI.

With four members of the Bat Family – Robin, Batgirl, Red Hood and Nightwing – Gotham Knights can be played solo or with a friend in two-player co-op. Unfortunately, there is no four-player co-op. Gotham Knights will pit you against the Court of Owls, among other antagonists from the Batman villain coterie, including Mr. Freeze and the Penguin.

Gotham Knights will be released on October 25 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
