Many fans were blown away when Gotham Knights were announced. The game showed many of the rumors were right but there was one thing they were wrong about. The game will not be in the Arkham universe the Rocksteady created for DC but instead be its own game. But why as it was a great series? Well it basically comes down to opportunity.
“Right. Well, I think it was an opportunity, in a way. The Arkham series is amazing, and it really stands as this amazing opus that people love, and it’s a fantastic interpretation of the Batman lore. I think for us, we saw an opportunity, we were granted an opportunity, honestly, to start something new and take a fresh look at, not just the Batman universe, but the full range and scope of characters and heroes that have been part of that for so many decades, and then think about what kinds of challenges and threats we could unleash on the player if we were willing to change up one, two, or three key elements, including, as it happens, the protagonists.
So that actually triggered the entire conversation for us, and we were given that chance, so we came to the table with this idea of, well look, all of these amazing heroes, even just looking at the core of the original members of the Batman family, you have characters that while they share some of that DNA of crime-fighting, they have really evolved in different directionsThey have a different style about them, and that style could map to player style, and if we use that as a starting point, even though they’re already cool characters and they’re aspirational, there’s a lot of room for growth, right.
