Gotham Knights Gets Massive Update With New Raid

04/27/2023 01:07 pm EDT

WB Games Montreal has today released a substantial new patch for its Batman video game Gotham Knights that adds a new raid among many other additions. Since its arrival this past year, WB Games Montreal has continued to release new updates for Gotham Knights at a pretty steady cadence to keep the game relevant. And although there have only been a couple of patches that have rolled out in 2023, today's update is the biggest that we've seen in quite some time. 

Available to download now across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, the latest patch for Gotham Knights most notably brings "The Kelvin Incident" into the game. The Kelvin Incident is a new raid associated with the Heroic Assault game mode in Gotham Knights. This raid specifically adds 15 new floors for players to battle their way through alongside new gear and stronger enemy type. Beyond this, WB Games Montreal has also made a number of bug fixes to Gotham Knights, with many of these improvements coming solely to the PC version of the game.
