If you thought Gotham was a huge area to drive around and explore in Batman: Arkham Knight, then you haven’t seen nothing yet, as Gotham Knights will feature the “biggest version of Gotham” in video games according to WB Games Montreal.

In an interview, Executive Producer Fleur Marty and Game Director Geoff Ellenor talks about the real estate of Gotham in the game.

Geoff: It’s pretty big. I haven’t put one map over the other, but our Gotham is a big place. I tend to spend a lot of my Zoom calls on the Batcyle driving around Gotham. It is one of the fastest and most chill ways to move around the city. It feels like a big place.

Fleur: For sure it’s the biggest version of Gotham that has been represented in video games. The most important thing for us is its density and verticality. It has a lot of layers. The Batcycle is the long-range mode of transportation.

In the same interview, Fleur confirmed that players will be able to play as the same character as their co-op buddies even if it’s weird.

If my main is Nightwing and my friend’s main also happens to be Nightwing, would one of us have to be a different hero, or could we have an Elseworlds situation of two Nightwings together?
Geoff: You can make it as weird as you want to.

Fleur: We’re leaving it up to players. We know some people will want to have different characters, but some won’t care. I don’t want to spoil anything, but there’s a funny moment in the game if you are playing as two of the same character. We’re giving you complete freedom.

That’s definitely good news. If I want to have a squad of two Red Hoods acting like John Wick in the game, then so be it!

Gotham Knights is set to glide out this October 25 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
