It’s official! Gotham Knights<\/em><\/a> is an upcoming Batman<\/em> game\u2014there’s only one catch. Batman won’t appear in this upcoming installment. The game takes place in a stark reality where Batman is dead, and there are sinister forces wreaking havoc on the streets of Gotham City.<\/p>\n

We know many things about Gothan Knights<\/em> from DC FanDome 2020. The game will be co-op<\/a> and will contain villains<\/a> such as Mr. Freeze and the Court of Owls. Without Batman, however, who is going to protect the citizens of Gotham City? These are five things we want to see in Gotham Knights<\/em> (and five\u00a0it needs to avoid).<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>References To\u00a0Bruce Wayne\u00a0(Want To See)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0follows the plot point from the\u00a0Batman: Arkham<\/em>\u00a0series that Bruce Wayne is dead. They both say that Bruce perished in an explosion. According to\u00a0denofgeek.com,<\/a>\u00a0“the only thing separating the\u00a0Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0universe and the\u00a0Batman: Arkham<\/em>\u00a0series seems to be the fact that WB Montreal said they’re not connected.” If\u00a0Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0isn’t connected to\u00a0Batman: Arkham<\/em>, then what is the story about?\u00a0Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0is setting itself up for a thrilling adventure.<\/p>\n

Horizon Zero Dawn<\/em>‘s datapoints intuitively added tidbits of information. With a ton of baggage, we need to know what\u00a0happened to Bruce Wayne. How WB Games Montr\u00e9al will discuss Bruce Wayne’s death, if it’s in conversation or datapoints, remains to be seen. Ignoring a major plot point of the game\u00a0is less than ideal.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>A Small World (Needs To Avoid)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Gotham City is meant to be a cultural hub in a fictional America. The design of Gotham City is meant to be inspired by cities like Chicago, New Jersey, and New York City. These large cities are ideal settings for Gotham Knights.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gotham Knights<\/em> needs an expansive world, but it shouldn’t sacrifice detail for scale. Densely packed worlds with small nuances like explorable buildings will separate\u00a0Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0from other action-adventure genre games.<\/a><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Stealth\u00a0(Want To See)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In the gameplay trailer, we saw pre-alpha footage, so it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If you were wondering, yes, Robin did do a stealth takedown moments after the above screenshot. We’re hoping that\u00a0Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0will redefine stealth as\u00a0Splinter Cell<\/em><\/a>\u00a0has done many times before. Rather than taking existing gameplay mechanics, stealth needs to be reinvented for this newly announced upcoming game.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Weak Character Development\u00a0(Needs To Avoid)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Can a\u00a0Batman<\/em>\u00a0video game have too many characters?<\/a> Games like\u00a0Batman: Arkham Asylum<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Injustice 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0prove that an abundance of characters is usually good. At the same time,\u00a0Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0needs healthy character development, so that players develop a meaningful connection.<\/p>\n

We’ve already seen characters like Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood,<\/a> Mr. Freeze, The Talons, and the\u00a0affable Alfred Pennyworth. If the game becomes too crowded with characters, it could wind up being a cluttered mess. Focus on character depth, and win the appreciation of fans.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Immersive World (Want To See)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The detail in Gotham Knights<\/em> should be a step-up from its loosely connected predecessor,\u00a0Batman: Arkham Knight.\u00a0<\/em>As a game coming to next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, it should have noticeably better graphics.<\/a> Graphics don’t make or break a game, but they can add to the immersion.<\/p>\n

Batman isn’t the only one who can glide. Robin and Batgirl prove to be more capable than Batman on occasion. With the world as your playground, Gotham Knights<\/em> needs immersive exploration.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Beat ‘Em Up Combat (Needs To Avoid)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Freeflow combat is the way to go with the upcoming Gotham Knight<\/em>‘s\u00a0combat system.<\/a>\u00a0However, merely copying the combat system from the\u00a0Batman: Arkham<\/em>\u00a0series is not good enough. Batman: Arkham<\/em> may utilize freeflow combat, but the style has become overdone in video games like\u00a0Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor\u00a0<\/em>since its introduction. Based on the latest gameplay trailers, it looks like WB Games Montr\u00e9al is looking to retool the combat system with new combos.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>A\u00a0Smart\u00a0Selection\u00a0Of Villains (Want To See)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Batman villains are among the most maniacal, deadly villains in comic book history. The appearance of Mr. Freeze in the gameplay trailer is half-way to confirmation that there will be many villains in Gotham Knights.<\/em> We also saw the Court of Owls, which tells use that WB Games Montr\u00e9al is\u00a0delving into more recent Batman comic books.<\/p>\n

Merely having an abundance of villains<\/a> appear isn’t enough. How they are portrayed is going to impact the game’s enjoyment. With substantial character development, Gotham Knights<\/em> could be a masterpiece in the making.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Microtransactions (Needs To Avoid)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Gotham Knights<\/em> should avoid microtransactions altogether\u00a0for the sake of pleasing its fan base. Players want to see vehicle customization, gadgets, and costumes all included with the base game.<\/a>\u00a0Microtransactions can work when gamers are given additional content that wouldn’t have been included, yet the argument to offer free content with a base game\u00a0is strong. With the purpose of draining our wallets, microtransactions would be a blemish on what could be a smashing hit.<\/a><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Batman (Want To See)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Even though Batman is confirmed to be dead, he could return by using the Lazarus Pit. Used by Ra’s al Ghul, The Lazarus Pit is a natural phenomenon that can give immortality. It can even resurrect the dead.<\/p>\n

Batman might be dead, but his legacy continues to live. Flashback gameplay sequences and illusions of Batman could make it so\u00a0Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0doesn’t leave out its pointy-headed protagonist. WB Games Montr\u00e9al could also make it like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order<\/em>,<\/a> where a major character appears at the end of the game. Darth Vader is a villain, and Batman is a hero, but the same concept could work.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Drifting\u00a0Too Far From Source Material\u00a0(Needs To Avoid)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The best Batman<\/em> films share that they all take inspiration from the comic books. While movies like\u00a0Batman & Robin\u00a0<\/em>had loose connections, others like\u00a0The Dark Knight Rises<\/em>\u00a0had stronger links to Batman’s greatest comics. Whether Gotham Knights<\/em> is related to\u00a0Batman: Gotham Knights<\/em>\u00a0#43 (2003) remains to be seen. As long as the developers at WB Games Montr\u00e9al stick to the source material and aren’t too\u00a0daring, this game will live up to expectations. Showing little understanding of the source material is unforgivable.<\/p>\n
