Gotham Knights is set to be released later next week and fans are eagerly waiting to see what WB Games Montreal has in store for them to experience. A few days ago, the developers showcased the official launch trailer for the title and, understandably, the community has had a lot to say about it.
Gotham Knights will allow players to step into the shoes of four well-known members of the Bat Family, namely, Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood. The game begins with the Caped Crusader's demise, with his four allies trying to restore order and justice to the city of Gotham. The main antagonist in the upcoming title is the Court of Owls.
All four of these characters were featured in the recently released official cinematic launch trailer, with a motivational speech from Alfred, Batman's iconic butler himself.

The official cinematic launch trailer revealed glimpses of each of the playable characters in combat, taking down thugs, and showcasing their skills. Alfred's voice speaks over the action, drawing out the insecurities that haunt each of the four members of the Bat Family.
He concludes by saying that Batman himself saw more than the four see in themselves. Alfred states that the Caped Crusader saw greatness, potential, and the future of Gotham in all of them and that they could be more than everything he ever was.
While the community found humor in Alfred pointing out the insecurities of the Gotham Knights, they were quick to state that Alfred acts as the perfect mentor figure. He shows them their usual self-doubt and tries to make them believe in the potential that both Batman and Alfred see in them.
The trailer received a positive response from the community as a whole, with fans appreciating the footage of the Knights fighting criminals on the street and Alfred boosting their morale. Furthermore, players also took note of the emotional impact that was evident in the trailer, with the death of Batman looming over the four who stepped in to clean up the streets of Gotham.
The community also pointed out the passion evident in the official cinematic launch trailer and the love that the developers must have poured into the making of Gotham Knights. One commented that the trailer might just be the final straw in them deciding to pre-order the title.
Red Hood seems like a favorite amongst fans as they eagerly wait for Gotham Knights to drop. The game is slated to be released on October 21 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The developers have assured the community that the action RPG will feature four distinct character arcs, so players have the option to replay the game a number of times.
The hype and anticipation surrounding Gotham Knights is at an all-time high, with players patiently bidding their time to step into the game's exciting world. Sadly, a recent announcement regarding the title has soured the conversation around it.
Earlier today, it was announced that Gotham Knights will run at 30 FPS on consoles with no performance mode option, which obviously has not sat well with the community. It remains to be seen how the title will fare when it is finally released later next week.
