'Gotham Knights' is highly unlikely to be delayed after going gold.

'Gotham Knights' has officially gone gold.

WB Games Montréal has confirmed the game is on track to be released on October 25 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The studio tweeted this week: "The whole Gotham Knights team is proud to announce that we're officially GOLD!

See you in October!"

Meanwhile, it's highly unlikely Batman will be revived in the game because he'd take up "all the space".

Executive producer Fleur Marty has insisted the DC superhero's absence has made the title "so much more interesting".

She was quoted by GamesRadar as saying: “It simply wouldn’t have made it easier to have Batman present at all, actually, because anywhere he is, he just takes up all of the space, he takes all of the air out of the room, and so it was so much more interesting to start afresh without him."

Lead writer Ceri Young agreed, adding: “I think [Batman’s absence] really drives these characters. There are various points where each finds themselves asking: ‘If Batman were here, I think this is how he’d handle it’. But they don’t have him, and so they have to figure out how to do it their own way and that’s where a lot of their interest and drive lies.”

Although she didn't give any spoilers away, Marty teased a "funny moment" in the game when choosing to play two of the same character.

She added: “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.”

Batman is dead in the game, and it's up to Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin to guard Gotham City.
