Unlike Rocksteady Games' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Gotham Knights is not set in the Arkham universe, despite the many apparent similarities. Instead, it's a unique and original setting. The game can be played solo or in two-player co-op, with Robin, Red Hood, Nightwing and Batgirl all having unique progression with differing skills and abilities to upgrade and unlock.

Gotham Knights is coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, PS4 and PS5. It's set to release at some point in 2021. We'll be sure to provide further updates as more information is revealed on this next game.
