At DC FanDome, WB Montreal showed off the first gameplay footage from its newly revealed Gotham Knights focusing on Batgirl taking on Mister Freeze. Here's a description of the footage below. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/22/7-minutes-of-batman-gotham-knights-gameplay"] The gameplay footage shows Batgirl riding a bat-cycle towards Mister Freeze's fortress. When she arrives, she's joined by Robin which shows co-op. During combat players can see the enemy's levels a la Assassin's Creed, suggesting some kind of RPG leveling system. While in combat, two players can seemingly take on a level at once. WB Games confirmed
Gotham Knights will feature two-player online co-op, though the Gotham Knights can also be played solo.
