Warner Bros. Games pushed out a new update for Gotham Knights, including the Kelvin Incident raid as well as a variety of bug fixes for PC and console.
The Kelvin Incident’s story revolves around Harley Quinn, Dr. Freeze, and Clayface’s point of view. The raid contains 15 floors where players can earn a new tier of stronger gear that only drops in that specific raid. New material will drop too. The update includes a new unlockable suit transmog, four new batcycle transmogs, and stronger enemies.
In terms of accessibility, players can now remap their controllers and gameplay controls. Buttons that need to be held down can now be changed to toggle. Additionally, there is improved screen-reader support as well as text-to-speech capability in English.
Over on PC, the patch has had some stability such as fixing draw distances and shadow castings when using higher field-of-view values and fixing Red Hood’s Mystal Leap behavior when playing at a higher frame rate.
The last update for Gotham Knights was back in November with the four-player Heroic Assault and two-player Showdown modes. In Heroic Assault, players fought against Starro and Man-Bat along with other Gotham City enemies in 30 different scenarios. in Showdown, players took on supercharged versions of Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, Clayface, and Talia al Ghul.
In GameSpot’s Gotham Knights review, we said, “The game seems built to serve an almighty hours-played statistic that has lately felt frighteningly ubiquitous. Strong character work and a well-considered co-op experience can’t save all that ails Gotham Knights, leaving this experience neither the one fans deserve, nor the one they need right now.”
