Warner Bros. Games and DC have released two new modes for Gotham Knights – Heroic Assault and Showdown. Both of these are now available as a free update for all base game owners.
Heroic Assault is an online co-op mode that allows players to team up in squads of four. 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 (below), the mode features a new threat who is at the source of the chaos – the highly advanced alien lifeform Starro, the Conqueror, and the formidable half-human/half-bat hybrid Man-Bat, who is under Starro’s control.
Showdown is a two-player online co-op mode. 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, unique suits, and Batcycle colourways 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. Whilst Showdown mode is unlocked once players have defeated the boss in each main villain Case File.
