Developer Warner Bros. Games Montréal revealed the best look yet at Nightwing's emblem in the highly-anticipated Gotham Knights.The image, which was shared to Gotham Knights' Twitter page, shows a gift-wrapped present emblazoned with symbols of the four playable members of the Bat-Family: Nightwing, Red Hood, Barbara Gordon's Batgirl and Tim Drake's Robin. While festive in its design, the picture reveals Dick Grayson's new icon, which will debut in Gotham Knights. The more slender design is a far cry from the symbol sported on the character's in-game costume, which is far more streamlined and basic in its shape. Perhaps most significant is that the emblem's head points up rather than to the left.
Beyond that, the image doesn't reveal any further details. The icons for the rest of the Bat-Family are all very similar to their original designs that fans have grown used to over the years. The actual tweet doesn't tease any new information, simply offering "Season's Greetings from Gotham City!"
Gotham Knights is an upcoming open-world action-adventure game starring the Bat-Family. Following the shocking death of Batman, Nightwing and his squad of vigilantes must step up and reclaim their city from the villains leaping at the opportunity to stake their claim. Players will be able to take control of any of the four superheroes and can be joined by a friend in two-player co-op.
Each of the Bat-family comes equipped with unique skills and abilities to ensure their playstyles are all different. Tim Drake is able to teleport around the battlefield thanks to a hacked Justice League satellite while Red Hood dispenses justice from a far with his trademark dual pistols. As for Nightwing, Dick Grayson springs between his foes with an acrobatic flair while Barbara Gordon makes extensive use of her genius gadgets.
Beyond villains like The Penguin and Mister Freeze, Gotham Knights will feature The Court of Owls as its core antagonist. The story trailer, revealed during DC Fandome 2021, reveals how the sinister organization of villains has grown for the game, presenting players with droves of new Talons to defeat. While the Court's role in the overarching narrative remains a mystery, Warner Bros. Games Montréal will likely unveil more information in the coming months.
Gotham Knights launches in 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.
