Warner Bros. Games Montreal’s new game Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>made a big splash at DC FanDome today, but since the game’s reveal, fans have been speculating whether the co-op action title is meant to be a sequel or spinoff to the Batman: Arkham <\/em>series, sharing those games’ setting in Gotham City and focusing on Batman’s allies Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing and Red Hood as the lead characters.<\/p>\n

In a comment to Kotaku, WB Games clarified that Gotham Knights<\/em> is set in its own continuity, and is in a separate universe entirely from the Arkham<\/em>\u00a0games. The decision to focus on the Bat-Family instead of Batman fueled fan theories that the game was a sequel to Arkham Knight<\/em><\/a>, but this doesn’t seem to be the case despite the stylistic similarities.<\/p>\n

As revealed in the gameplay footage released earlier today, Gotham Knights<\/em> shares the open-world design and kinetic fight sequences that fans grew familiar with from\u00a0Arkham<\/em>, but the narrative won’t be a continuation of Rocksteady’s games<\/a>. The game will also feature online co-op and RPG-style progression for the four player characters.<\/p>\n
