Gamers will be playing as Batman and are going to have the ability to use all of his available gadgets, as well as the Batmobile. The entirety of the Batcave will also be made available to players. In this secret location, they can use Batman's technology to fight the supervillains.

Gotham's police department is also a part of the world, making the inclusion of Jim Gordon highly probable, as the Bat-signal was also seen in the trailer. The commissioner could also help the vigilante bring in intel against the villains as part of the storyline.

Moreover, players will have to solve Riddler's puzzles in order to defeat the villain. These puzzles will present themselves in a unique manner, with players having to jump through deadly caves and solve them in the form of mini-games.

The main supervillain of the Gotham Knights DLC is the Joker, who gamers will be able to face after defeating the other villains of Gotham City.

As part of the celebration of the new DLC, Minecraft is giving away a free Batman cap that all players can claim from the dressing room for free right now.


Release date and price

The upcoming Gotham Knights DLC pack is set to be released as early as October 18. Its price was not officially announced, but it can be expected to cost $19.99, as per the pattern seen with previous DLCs.
