The list of Gotham Knights platforms has noticeably shrunk since the announcement - leaving out the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the action game.The WB Games team opened up about this and more during a Q&A session on Discord with fans by executive producer Fleur Marty, game director Geoff Ellenor, and creative director Patrick Redding.We picked out the most curious part of their conversation.The developers had to cancel the release of Gotham Knights on PS4 and Xbox One due to the increased scope of the game.The decision was not an easy one, but now the team will be able to achieve a high level of quality on the current generation of consoles. Each neighborhood of Gotham is different in its level of liveliness.Since the \"Knights\" go on missions only at night, they will be able to observe both crowded streets and deserted areas in the industrial part of town.Townspeople were prescribed different views of the superheroes.They are able to bounce off the oncoming traffic - you can not shoot them down.On the night Gotham drives a variety of vehicles, including trains.Players will be able to enter some of the structures - they usually have a connection with crime.Gotham Knights can pass for any character, without changing it to others.However, there is story content and some side activities that are tied to a certain character from the four. Screw the silencers on the firearms will not work, but all the characters have stealth tricks to quietly eliminate enemies.Each of the successors of Batman has three skill trees, later in the story will open the \"knight\" talent tree with more powerful tricks.Also mentioned \"impulse\" skills - what they are not specified.In Gotham, something illegal is constantly happening - from petty thefts to full-fledged raids.Some of the events can be botched by getting involved and then retreating without finishing it.On the next game day, that activity is no more.The experience of moving the Knights around the open world is different.Batgirl plans on a cape like Batman, Robin uses the teleporter, Nightwing flies on a jet glider, and Kolpak uses superpowers to literally jump through the air. The game does not feature the usual Batman: Arkham counterattacks.Instead there is a multi-layered combat system with normal and powerful strikes.Each armor has its own style, color palette and characteristics.Users will be allowed to change the mask, logo, gloves and shoes.Weapons can also be customised.\"The appearance of an outfit becomes cooler as its rank increases,\" Ellenor said.To craft a suit or weapon from found blueprints, you must return to the Belfry base.Resources for crafting fall from the killed enemies, from the crates of supplies and after completing tasks. The developers consulted with experts to more properly show Barbara Gordon's recovery after being shot in the back.Batgirl underwent several surgeries, followed by physical therapy and pain management.While in Belfree between assignments, Barbara does stretching and special exercises as part of her ongoing rehabilitation.And her costume has a special plate built into her back.The game is in no way related to the series from The CW.The developers also mentioned that they don't intend to increase Knightwing's butt yet, against fan requests.However, they do not rule out that they may return to this issue later.Gotham Knights will be released on October 25, 2022 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.Thirteen minutes of gameplay for Knightwing and the Red Hood were previously released.
