The much-awaited Gotham Knights video game has released a new trailer that puts the spotlight on some of the villains that players will have to face in the open-world action RPG.
Dropped on August 24th, the trailer reveals two DC Super-Villains – the Mastermind criminal “influencer” Harley Quinn and the shape-shifting colossus Clayface, who are both parts of the vast criminal element threatening the city in Gotham Knights, along with the cold-blooded Mr. Freeze and the secret and sinister Court of Owls.
The video also provides a closer look at Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin in action as the four knights face off against these fearsome foes while trying to protect a vulnerable Gotham City.

What is Gotham Knights game about?
Inspired by the Batman: Gotham Knights comic series, the game is set in Gotham City after the deaths of Bruce Wayne/Batman and Police Commissioner James Gordon, which has resulted in a rise in crime and lawlessness.
Players assume the role of four of Batman’s former proteges — Dick Grayson/Nightwing, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Tim Drake/Robin, and Jason Todd/Red Hood — as they attempt to continue his legacy by protecting Gotham upon receiving a pre-recorded message from Batman.
The heroes encounter several supervillains, including the abovementioned Harley Quinn, Clayface, Mr. Freeze, the Court of Owls, and Penguin. Supporting non-playable characters include Bruce’s former butler Alfred Pennyworth and Police Captain Renee Montoya, who is one of the few honest cops left in the city.
