WB Games Montreal shared a couple of interesting tidbits on Gotham Knights yesterday.
The first was a November 29 launch date for the game’s arena-based experience Heroic Assault which sees up to four-players participating in co-op.
It seems four-player co-op will be limited to that mode, as the main game is only playable either solo or in two-player online co-op, as it does not feature local co-op. Also, Heroic Assault is a gameplay mode separate from the main story campaign and provides a dedicated arena-like environment with specific objectives and enemies to defeat across 20 floors.
When announced, the Gotham Knights co-op was just for two players in the superhero game, despite there being four characters: Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood. While designing a Batman world around two players with heavy RPG game elements instead of four is what the team went for, many were hoping to suit up with three friends in Gotham. Turns out now you will, as WB Games Montréal has announced that a free four player mode will be coming to Gotham Knights after launch.

After announcing a four-player co-op mode will be coming to Gotham Knights next month, Warner Bros. Montreal has shared another piece of less exciting news: The game will run at 30 frames per second on console with no performance mode option.
The announcement was made via the official Gotham Knights Discord server by the game’s executive producer Fleur Marty. She confirmed that the game will not provide an option to switch between a high-quality graphics mode and a performance mode which will raise the frame rate.

“Due to the types of features we have in our game, like providing a fully untethered co-op experience in our highly detailed open world,” Marty writes, “it’s not as straightforward as lowering the resolution and getting a higher frame rate.” Marty continues by confirming that Gotham Knights “does not have a performance/quality toggle option” and will run at “30 FPS on consoles.”
