Gotham Knights writer teases 'fresh, unique take' on Batman games
A 'Gotham Knights' developer has promised the title will have a "very fresh, unique take" on 'Batman' games.
Narrative designer and writer Mitch Dyer - who works at WB Games Montreal - explained that the upcoming open world, action RPG title feels more approachable because of a focus on characters other than the Caped Crusader after Bruce Wane's apparent death.
Speaking to the Las Vegas Review Journal, he said: "Shifting the focus to be about these characters in the aftermath of this pivotal death that is important to all of them, the framework of this story is unique.
"Having this very fresh, unique take on the DC Universe makes it approachable and engaging in a way that is instantly gratifying to me."
In fact, it was the chance to play as Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin and Red Hood that attracted Mitch - who previously worked on 'Star Wars: Squadrons' - to the project.
He added: "I was attracted to the project because I was a fan of it [when it was announced at DC FanDome in August 2020].
"The idea of playing four different characters in an open world in a setting where Bruce Wayne has died, that is extremely compelling to me."
The game - which is an original story from the studio behind 'Batman: Arkham Origins' - doesn't have a firm release date yet, but it's set to launch in 2021 on PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
