'Gotham Knights' won't take place 'over one night'

Unlike some other Batman games, 'Gotham Knights' story won't take place over just one night.

The Arkham games are a popular series of games when it comes to the Batman universe, however it was previously announced that 'Gotham Knights' won't be continuing on the Arkham games and aren't set in the same fictional universe.

And one of the key differences between the games is that 'Gotham Knights' won't take place over a single evening.

The Arkham games usually took place over a single long night (even if the player had spent way over 24 hours in the game), and most ended at dawn.

But the upcoming title won't be following that trend: creative director Patrick Redding told PlayStation Blog: "It's not one story set over one night, but really about the mid to long term growth of the hero".

The narrative of the game follows the four protagonists - Batgirl, Red Hood, Nightwing, and Robin - defending Gotham City after Batman's death, and Redding explained that the game explores "that idea of how this new guard of younger heroes [...] approach the problem of equipping and training themselves up, preparing and adapting for that next major threat, that next major menace that they're going to need to combat?"
