Gotham Knights has a ‘new and unique take’ on the Batman games

A writer from WB Games Montreal, the team working on Gotham Knights, said the open-world action RPG will have a “very fresh and unique take” on Batman’s familiar game structure.

In a brief interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal, narrative designer and writer Mitch Dyer said that Gotham Knights’ focus on characters other than Batman makes the game more accessible. In turn, this should give the game an engaging feel that is “fresh” and “unique”.

“By shifting attention to these characters in the wake of this crucial death that is important to them all, the setting of this story is unique,” ​​said Dyer. “Having this very fresh and unique take on the DC Universe makes it accessible and engaging in a way that instantly gratifies me.”

Dyer, who previously worked at EA Motive Studio writing the story for his Star Wars: Squadrons air combat simulator, also briefly touched on what drew him to Gotham Knights. It all comes down to the opportunity to play four other prominent Batman characters.

“I was attracted to the project because I was a fan of it [when it was announced at DC FanDome in August 2020]”Said Dyer.” The idea of ​​playing four different characters in an open world in a setting where Bruce Wayne died is extremely compelling to me. “

Although Gotham Knights does not yet have a definitive release date, the game is slated for release this year on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.
