A writer for WB Games Montreal, the team working on Gotham Knights, said that the open-world action RPG will have a “unique and very new vision” of the familiar structure of the Batman game.
In a brief interview for the Las Vegas Review Journal, narrative designer and writer Mitch Dyer said that Gotham Knights’ focus on characters other than Batman makes the game more accessible. This in turn should give the game an immersive feel that is “new” and “unique”.
“Shifting the focus to being about these characters after this crucial death that is important to them all, the structure of this story is unique,” said Dyer. “Having this very new and unique view of the DC Universe makes it accessible and engaging in a way that is instantly gratifying to me.”
Dyer, who previously worked at EA Motive Studio writing the narrative for his dog fighting simulator Star Wars: Squadrons, also briefly mentioned what attracted him to Gotham Knights. It all comes down to the opportunity to play four other prominent Batman characters.
“I was attracted to the project because I was a fan of it [when it was announced at DC FanDome in August 2020]”Said Dyer.” The idea of playing four different characters in an open world in a setting where Bruce Wayne died is extremely appealing to me. “
Although Gotham Knights does not yet have a definitive release date, the game is scheduled to be released this year on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.
In other WB Games news, a note about a job listing at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment suggests that she plans to focus her upcoming games on live services in some way.
