Gotham Knights gets a new release date and villains trailer

Warner Bros. Games has announced that Gotham Knights will be released a few days earlier than expected for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

The Gotham Knights release date has been moved forward by four days to October 21, 2022, it said on Tuesday.

The publisher also released a new Gotham Knights ‘Villains’ trailer. Viewable below, it reveals mastermind criminal influencer Harley Quinn and the shape-shifting colossus Clayface.

“There’s a storm coming and Renee Montoya knows she can’t trust the GCPD to fight it,” reads the trailer description. “She must ally herself with our Knights before it’s too late. Will they stand a chance against the wrath of Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, Clayface, and the Court of Owls as they each try to take over Gotham City? Or will the villains reign over Gotham?”

In May, Warner said it no longer planned to release previously announced PS4 and Xbox One versions of Gotham Knights in order “to provide players with the best possible gameplay experience”.

It also released a 14-minute Gotham Knights video narrated by game director Geoff Ellenor, showing how each of the playable characters differ and providing some insight into the game’s narrative.
