What is the Home Base of Gotham Knights?Įllenor showcases the home base of the Gotham Knights, the Belfry.
He makes quick work of the driver and quickly serves the vehicle after hijacking it. In this gameplay video, Red Hood is shown riding his own Bat-Cycle and trying to pursue an ice cream truck manned by criminals. So far, there are Bat-Cycles, and Nightwing’s hang glider were shown as ways of transport in the game, so there could be more in the future. They can customize it via the menu screen. They can do it with a minimum look or they can add tons of other widgets and UI for maximum information overload. Can You Customize the UI HUD?Īccording to Ellenor during his narration on the gameplay video, players could change the way the UI HUD would look like to their preference. He uses “non-lethal” gunshots, brawler moves, and sticky bombs to take down thugs. He can then swoop down for the kill with his guns and gadgets. He can “hop” through the air as if there is a floor above the sky, which is made up of his soul power. While he can use gadgets, it seems his resurrection by the League of Assassins has made him develop “otherworldly” powers. His aerial glider makes an appearance, too, letting him get around with ease and navigate the grim streets of Gotham on a whim.Red Hood then arrives with his interesting way of traversal. 'Ping-ponging' around the arena, Nightwing takes on multiple enemies at once with nightsticks, gadgets, and flexibility.

The new trailer – embedded above – is narrated by game director Geoff Ellenor, who talks us through the gameplay as the resurrected Red Hood and the acrobatic Nightwing. Our first proper look at Gotham Knights' gameplay. Not really – a couple of glimpses at the title have been given to us, but the meat of the gameplay has remained obscured ever since the game was pushed back from its initial 2021 release date. Possibly by the mysterious Court of Owls.īut we didn't know how the game would play. We've known for a little while that the game will start up with Batman's bat-signal sending a distress call to his four protégés, warning them that all hell is liable to break loose in Gotham after he's been done in. Games and DC revealed the first official gameplay for Nightwing and Red Hood in Gotham Knights, showing off some of the action we can expect in the upcoming open-world, third-person action-RPG from the team at Warner Bros Games Montréal. It's been a long time coming, but today Warner Bros.
