Gotham Knights gets free update adding Heroic Assault and Showdown modes

Gotham Knights

Publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer WB Games Montreal released a new free update for Gotham Knights.

The new update adds two new cooperative play modes, Heroic Assault and Showdown. Defeating the respective bosses in each mode will get players legendary gear blueprints, and unique suits for your characters.


Here’s a rundown on the new modes, plus a new trailer:

Heroic Assault is an online co-op mode that allows players to team up in squads of four and venture into the depths below Gotham City to face off against enemies and complete challenges across 30 action-packed floors. As seen in a newly revealed trailer, the mode features a new threat who is at the source of the chaos – the highly advanced alien lifeform Starro, the Conqueror, as well as the formidable half-human/half-bat hybrid Man-Bat, who is under Starro’s control.

Showdown is a two-player online co-op mode where players can confront supercharged versions of the game’s main DC Super-Villains, including Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, Clayface and Talia al Ghul. Defeating these bosses in Showdown mode will earn players new legendary gear blueprints and unique suit and Batcycle colorways for every enemy overcome.

Heroic Assault and Showdown are standalone online co-op modes accessible as a free update for all Gotham Knights owners. Heroic Assault mode becomes available to players upon reaching Case File 05 in the main campaign, and Showdown mode is unlocked once players have defeated the boss in each main villain Case File.

Gotham Knights is now available across Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Expect our thorough review shortly.
