Taking the great with the dangerous: I’ve excellent news and dangerous information. The excellent news is that Warner Bros Game Montréal has handled us by dropping a 13-minute video for Gotham Knights showcasing some gameplay. The dangerous information is that on the identical time, the studio revealed that it will not launch the sport on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One in any case.
When Warner Bros unveiled Gotham Knights in August 2020, it was supposed to return out on present and last-gen consoles alongside a PC model. It was set to launch at an unspecified date in 2021. In March 2021, the studio introduced it was delaying the sport till 2022 however mentioned nothing about canceling last-gen variations.
In March, WB lastly announced a strong launch date of October 25, 2022. Again, last-gen variations gave the impression to be on monitor — a minimum of the developer did not point out in any other case. Today WB Games mentioned it needed to minimize Gotham Knights for PS4 and Xbone to make sure gamers acquired the “very best gaming expertise.”
On the one hand, it is unlucky for many who personal last-gen consoles or haven’t been in a position to snag a PS5 or XSX due to shortages. The recreation appears spectacular if you’re into the Batman video games. On the opposite hand, I’m an enormous proponent of builders specializing in present era {hardware} and getting it proper earlier than porting it to older platforms. I’m hoping extra studios will begin narrowing their focus as effectively.
In any case, Warner additionally dropped a 13-minute gameplay trailer displaying Night Wing and Red Hood in motion (above). Previous alpha footage, launched with the announcement teaser, centered on Bat Girl. All we want now’s some Robin gameplay to spherical it out. Or we will simply wait a couple of months and play it in October.
