Gotham Knights Combat
Posted By:

Warner Bros. have released, via Twitter it seems, short annotated gameplay videos for each of the playable characters in upcoming action roleplaying game Gotham Knights, which others have helpfully republished together.

So it's a two minute blow-by-blow combat preview.

Combat is so fast-paced that we had to pause several times to catch it all.

But the video is good for sectioning out basic versus heavy attacks, dodges, throws, take-downs and abilities.

Keep in mind though that as demonstrated in their recent Red Hood Builds video, each character has many different potential playstyles.

It looks like several new abilities are named.

Eg. we see Robin's ability where he uses his sling to fire a blinding light above him.

Seen in earlier trailers we had thought it a blinding flash type thing but it is here named Fireworks and both the ensuing rain and enemies moving out of it would suggest that it's a damage point blank area of effect.

Batgirl's rushing forward ability is named Elemental Strike.

The developers also report that the game has gone gold, i.e. it is completely finished and has been sent off for mass production.

Gotham Knights will release on PC, Xbox and PlayStation on October 25.
