Gotham Knights' latest trailer put the upcoming title's PC launch in the spotlight while its titular heroes raced through the city.

The promotional video spotlights everything PC players can look forward to, including 4K resolutions, ultra-wide monitor support, extensive customization settings, ultra-high framerates and ray traced reflections. This is all demonstrated with a series of stylish shots highlighting the Bat Family's crusader on Gotham's criminals following the death of Batman.

Gotham Knights previously teased the massive and detailed nature of the city on multiple occasions. Executive producer Fleur Marty and game director Geoff Ellenor claimed this version of Gotham City as the largest interpretation ever in gaming, describing it as "layered" in its "density and verticality." Marty noted how not everyone in Gotham experiences the city the same way, as it contains poorer districts and old, wealthy families depending on where players choose to explore.

"Gotham, the city, is such a huge character in Gotham Knights," Ellenor said. "Our whole concept of Gotham was this crazy, layered city. All the art that resonated with us and made it great is that you have a city that wants to be amazing, but it has these layers where not everybody is having the same experience of what it's like to live in Gotham City."

Gotham Knights' developers conceived a 400-year history for the city to add depth and a sense of realism to it. Although not every aspect of its history can be revealed through gameplay, much of it plays a vital role in its plot. A significant reason behind this detail stems from the central villains, the Court of Owls, whom Gotham Knights teased played a significant role behind the scenes throughout the city's long history. It also gives parts of Gotham the sense that they are stuck in time, something which developers suggested might relate to themes in the game as the city develops like a character.

The heroes and the villains experience a similar struggle as the Bat Family, the rogue's gallery and the city itself struggle after Batman's death. Much of the plot revolves around Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood and Robin as they strive to fill their mentor's shoes while struggling to learn how to work together. The villains face a similar dilemma, according to director Patrick Redding. "Like our heroes, these are villains that are now having to reassess what their function is, where they sit in the ecosystem when their main adversary isn't around anymore," he teased. "How are they going to redefine themselves?"

Gotham Knights launches on Oct. 21 for PlayStation 4, Xbox SeriesX|S and PC.
