Gotham Knights has a lot to live up to as the first of a new generation of games in the DC universe. Especially after the massive success of recent Marvel games like Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. As such, there’s a lot of excitement and interest surrounding Gotham Knights. Naturally, that level of interest comes with questions from fans. Questions like, is Gotham Knights in the Arkhamverse?

Is Gotham Knights in the Arkhamverse?

No, Gotham Knights is not in the Arkhamverse. This is a question that many fans have been asking since the announcement of the game. Gotham Knights features characters connected to Batman, after all. However, the game isn’t connected to the super popular Batman: Arkham games at all. Warner Bros. describes the game as “an all-new, original story and experience set in DC’s Batman Universe.” Although there’s no doubt that Warner Bros. Interactive will be hoping to replicate the success of the Batman: Arkham games with Gotham Knights and the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Wonder Woman games.
