Gotham Knights Trailer Showcases Red Hood Gameplay

Thus far, leading up to the release of Gotham Knights on October 25^th, we’ve seen trailers showcasing Batgirl, Robin, and Nightwing. Now, it seems that Jason Todd, known as Red Hood, is getting his turn. I’ve been curious about how each character would set themselves apart from the rest, and with this last trailer, I’m even more excited to give the game a try.

As previously announced, Gotham Knights will release on PS5, Xbox series X/S, and PC on October 25^th. You can pre-order the game now to get access to the 233 Kustom Batcycle Skin at launch, based on the vehicle’s first appearance in DC’s Detective Comics #233. Here is what the press release has to say about the new trailer.

“The video features all-new gameplay and custom cutscenes of Red Hood, also known as Jason Todd. An intense vigilante with a short fuse, Red Hood is a highly trained marksman and hard-hitting, hand-to-hand fighter who’s reached the peak of human strength, making him an expert in both ranged and melee combat.

After his violent death and subsequent resurrection in the Lazarus Pit, Red Hood gained the ability to harness mystical powers that aid him in battle and allow him to propel his body through the air to traverse the city. Despite his complicated past, Red Hood has reconciled with the Batman Family and is committed to using non-lethal combat methods to protect Gotham City in the wake of Batman’s death.

Gotham Knights features the Batman Family as players step into the roles of Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin, a new guard of trained DC Super Heroes who must rise up as the protectors of Gotham City in the wake of Batman’s death. From solving mysteries that connect the darkest chapters in the city’s history to defeating notorious villains in epic confrontations, players will confront an array of challenges as they evolve into their own version of the Dark Knight.”

I’m really curious to see if Gotham Knights addresses Jason’s feelings toward Batman. They’ve had a complex (often combative) relationship in the comics for a while, so Batman’s death should have some interesting plot ramifications for Jason, Barbara, Dick, and Tim. We won’t have much longer to wait though, October is coming faster than we’d think.
