The Gotham Knights open world will be the largest Gotham City ever projected in Batman games. Although the size of the game map has lost its importance in open world games today – because we now have really big open worlds – this information is still important for Gotham Knights. Because, as the developers stated, Gotham City’s biggest version in video games will be in this new game.
Gotham Knights comes out with the biggest Gotham City in Batman games
In an interview with Game Informer, game director Geoff Ellenor and executive producer Fleur Marty talked about the latest game. Ellenor called the Gotham Knights map “pretty big.” He says he doesn’t compare the map to other games, but he does tend to spend most of the Zoom calls that take place in-house driving around the city with Batcycle. He notes that this is one of the fastest and coolest ways to get around the city.
Marty elaborates, saying, “Certainly this is Gotham’s biggest release represented in video games.” As we heard before in Cyberpunk 2077, the density and vertical size of the city are emphasized rather than its surface area. This indicates the high number of buildings we can enter into in the city. The open world of Batman: Arkham Night was also big enough that we could travel with the Batmobile, but we see that they take things one step further for the new game.

Of course, the big open world doesn’t mean good play. This industry has seen examples of this many times before. So addressing this aspect of the game is perhaps the last thing that needs to be done critically.
