Gotham Knights Trailer Sees Nightwing and Red Hood Busting Heads in 14 Minutes of New Gameplay

Developer WB Games Montreal and DC have unveiled a first look at Nightwing and Red Hood in Gotham Knights, plying their vigilante trade on the streets of the eponymous crime-ridden city. Narrated by Game Director Geoff Ellenor, the video features 14 minutes of gameplay, revealing both characters' unique abilities.

Tasked with investigating the Court of Owls, Nightwing and Red Hood will work alongside Batgirl and Robin, in an open-world, third-person ‘action RPG’ experience. All four characters have their own distinct fighting style and open-world traversal abilities, including Nightwing's acrobatic combat and aerial glider, and Red Hood twin pistols and leaping skills that use soul energy.

Gotham Knights is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on 25th October 2022, with WB Games noting that the game won't be coming to Xbox One or PlayStation 4, in a bid to “provide players with the best possible gameplay experience”. You can also pre-order the game digitally from today, with a choice of Standard or Deluxe Editions. A retail Collector's Edition is also available, with Deluxe Edition, AR collectible pin, 16-page media book, Gotham City map, four-character statue diorama, and more.

All pre-orders will also get the 233 Kustom Batcycle Skin DLC at release, based on the vehicles original appearance in DC Detective Comics #233. Check out Nightwing and Red Hood in action in the new Gotham Knights gameplay below.
