WB's co-op spin on the Arkham formula is on the way this year, with Gotham Knights set to release in October. Up to this point, the developers have only confirmed 2-player co-op gameplay, but it seems that the developers may have increased this to up to 4-player co-op. On top of that, there will be new gameplay footage shown later today. 

In Gotham Knights, players will assume the roles of Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood and Batgirl to protect Gotham City after the passing of Bruce Wayne. We know that the Court of Owls will be involved in the story in some way, as well as the League of Shadows. We can assume some other fan favourite villains will also make an appearance during the game.

The next major update for the game will be arriving later today, at 2PM BST. The new update will focus on Nightwing and Red Hood, as well as their combat abilities.

While this hasn't been confirmed yet, a recent update to Gotham Knights' PlayStation Store listing indicates that 4-player co-op will also be in the game at launch, which makes sense given that there are four playable characters in the game.

Gotham Knights is currently scheduled to launch on the 25th of October for current-gen and last-gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as PC.

KitGuru Says: If WB can deliver a story on par with Arkham Origins with Gotham Knights, then I'll be pleased. Still, I do have some concerns over skins, cosmetics and microtransactions in this new multiplayer-focused setting.
