Gotham Knights Release Date Possibly Teased

est1992 · Dec 25, 2020

From their official Twitter:

As you can see if you look to the poster you can come to a date, July 16, 2021.

WB Games is releasing LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga in Spring, Back 4 Blood in June, and Hogwarts sometime in the Fall, so a July release date would make a lot of sense.

That's way earlier than I expected but I hope it's true. Really looking forward to it.

Lashley · Dec 25, 2020

Wouldn't hold my breath

Laser Ramon · Dec 25, 2020

Could be a new trailer on January 6th

Scottoest · Dec 25, 2020

Maybe, but there's also two dates on that calendar, so...

jon bones · Dec 25, 2020

summer in gotham & winter at hogwarts sounds dope as hell

udivision · Dec 25, 2020

I don't think they need to reveal a date this early, so I'm doubtful.

An Army of Bees · Dec 25, 2020

Guessing the first date is some sort of Gold edition "five days early" date, with the second being the actual release.

Deleted member 4353 · Dec 25, 2020

Me thinks Gotham Knights will be Fall and Hogwarts will be 2022. Squad will get delayed.

Scott · Dec 25, 2020

1621 days until release.

CloseTalker · Dec 25, 2020

Could be. Dumb move if they are announcing a date this early. Don't announce a date until you know you can make it

Navid · Dec 25, 2020

The gameplay they showed for Gotham Knights looked pretty fleshed out when they demoed the game back during the DC Fandome event, so could see a summer release...

Back 4 Blood already announced their date, it's not really out of the norm.

They were in Alpha phase before August.

jschreier already said Hogwarts was Fall 2021.

A release in the middle of summer? Unlikely.

Arkham Knight came out in June so it's really not that strange

Small problem, the 16th isn't on a Tuesday and the 21st isn't on a Sunday.

Two of the biggest games of the year came out this summer (TLOUII in June and Ghost of Tsushima in July).

And Arkham Asylum was August as well.

The 16th is a Friday. Games can release on a Friday. Both games I mentioned in my comment above dropped on a Friday lol

That's actually more evidence this is legit- the 16th is a Friday which has become when most games release now.

ShinobiOfTheWind · Dec 25, 2020

Is this releasing on lastgen + PC only (but playable on currentgen via BC) and postponing the currentgen plans due to COVID, or are they officially releasing a currentgen version, day and date, as well?

They haven't spoke on a next gen version yet, but I imagine they'll have one like most cross gen games.

Smooth Criminal · Dec 25, 2020

Gotham Knights being released in July is something that makes sense to me. I feel like the behind-the-scenes info we've heard about this game - and God knows the rumour mill was spinning for long enough - indicated that this may have been targeting late 2020 at one point in its development.

Of the three big WB titles, it's the one I'm most confident will hit its mark.

Keyser S · Dec 25, 2020

2021 should be very full, and a lot of 2020 games getting delayed into 2021 makes it even fuller. Trying to find a space in the middle of summer without huge competition is a good idea

Cosmic Voyager · Dec 25, 2020

Iron Man VR, Ghost of Tsushima, and Paper Mario: Origami King all came out in July.

big games can come out in July and do just fine

Spiderhead · Dec 25, 2020

Lol nvm ignore this post I'm an idiot.

But why have the dates marked as a Tuesday and Sunday? Another clue perhaps?

Y'know I'm not sure why I thought this was a PS5/Xbox Series game first.

It seems like the clue is, firstly, July, and then the two corresponding numbers, 16 and 21.

rude · Dec 25, 2020

This sounds realistic to me.

Yeah, I got that. But the days are marked as Tuesday and Sunday... Why?

Probably just to populate the poster. You know, make it seem more realistic.

Don't expect many 2021 games to hit their planned release windows

Will wait for the PS5/XSX version then.

It's WB, so the upgrade path chances are slim, and these guys deliver some of the most shoddy PC ports at their launches (the bugs in AO were egregious), which will be fixed a year later along with their DLC's, so PC's out of the question at launch too.

Press F for STALKER 2.

Any insight if Gotham Knights is still trying to hit summer? I remember hearing that a while back.

Even ones with recently announced windows? Like people who announced their games in September?

Squad was announced for 2022 and is from a different publisher so I don't see how the other games could impact the release date, which I guess it is Q4/22.

Or perhaps an anagram. It seems strange that they would announce the date on a poster, but have the other parts of the poster mean nothing.

They all have the same publisher WB

Maximus Odinson · Dec 25, 2020

Hype for this seems non existent so far

lorddarkflare · Dec 25, 2020

Good date.

I am super excited for this. I love the Batfamily.

Only thing that could get me more excited is if we got Damian or Orphan.

Or confirmation that we will get hangout scenes.

Lemony1984 · Dec 25, 2020

I love that someone over at WB was like "I don't think we've done enough teases for Gotham Knights"

valinthyne · Dec 25, 2020

It being a range of dates screams beta to me.

grand · Dec 25, 2020

Sounds like the dates for the next WB event to reveal more on the title

J_ToSaveTheDay · Dec 25, 2020

I'm cautiously excited about this game. I like that it has Batman out of the way and Dick, Barbara and Tim are playable (I don't personally like Jason but I'm not upset he's here). I'm a little iffy on it being seemingly multiplayer focused but it sounds like they wanna try to balance and cater to single player folks too... That's where I tend to get a bit wary, especially with the way damage numbers look in combat for some encounters so far. But, I'll gladly try out a beta or something if they make it open to public and try to get a better feel hands-on... If not, I'll be keeping my ear to the ground for impressions whenever they start arriving.

These dates don't really ring as game release or beta dates but I also wasn't expecting Gotham Knights that "soon," either.

chandoog · Dec 25, 2020

I'm surprised it's that late. The game play demo they showed looked like a game well into development. I assumed this was gonna be Q1 2021, Q2 at max.

Just searched a bit.

Yeah, I totally forgot about this. It IS crossgen. Nice to see it day 1.

Here's the Press Release from WB Games, WB Games Montreal and the game's official website carry the PS5/XSX logos.
