Gotham Knights’ free arena-based four-player co-op experience launching in November

WB Games Montreal shared a couple of interesting facts about gotham knights yesterday.

The first was a release date of November 29 for the game’s arena-based Heroic Assault experience, involving up to four players in co-op.

It looks like four player co-op will be limited to that mode as the main game can only be played solo or in two player online co-op as there is no local co-op. In addition, Heroic Assault is a separate game mode from the main story campaign and provides a dedicated arena-like environment with specific objectives and enemies to defeat across 20 floors.

So if you were hoping to play the main campaign with three of your friends, you can’t.

The other interesting tidbit has to do with the console version of the game. Apparently, despite only being available on next-gen systems, Gotham Knights doesn’t feature a performance mode, which is odd considering many new PS5 and Xbox Series X/S games do.

Also, it only works at 30 FPS.

According to the game’s executive producer, Fleur Marty (thanks, Wario64), due to the kinds of features available in the game, such as an untethered co-op experience in a “highly detailed open world”, it’s not as “simple as lowering the resolution and getting higher FPS”.

For this reason, the game will not feature a performance option and will run at 30FPS on consoles.

Gotham Knights will be available on October 21 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/s.
