The press release goes on to detail the upcoming game’s four characters: Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin, as well as their traits and strengths. Following the death of Batman, the surviving members of the Batman Family will have to work together to solve mysteries and face some of Batman’s most menacing foes, including the debut of the Court Of Owls.
Gotham Knights will be a brand new story for DC’s Batman Universe, and is not connected to the Arkham games franchise. Gotham Knights is set to release in 2021 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Xbox One and PC.

The game will let players tackle missions solo, or though a four-man co-op team. The game will be released on PC and next-generation consoles.
