Harley Quinn is one of the most recurring characters in WB Montreal’s DC video games.  

The director also informed that Batman dies within the first ten minutes of the game and there is exactly one Riddler question mark in the entire game.  

The panel introduced four heroes– Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, Nightwing/Dick Grayson, Red Hood/Jason Todd, and Robin/Tim Drake, with their script and cinematics, as players can choose at different intervals. 

A new trailer featuring the gameplay of Batgirl was also shown at the event.

Batgirl is Gotham City’s protector, and it is her mission to serve its people. She aims to be their symbol of faith and hope.  

The trailers for Robin and Nightwing were released a while back. WB Montreal decided against launching the RPG game for PS4 and Xbox One. 

Gotham Knights will be available on October 25, 2022, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
