Batman is dead. With Gotham’s greatest protector gone, it’s up to the rest of the Bat family to step up and take over. Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood take center stage in this two-player cooperative adventure that pits the heroic foursome against fan-favorite secret society, the Court of Owls, and other classic villains. Gotham Knights comes from Warner Bros. Montreal, developer of Batman: Arkham Origins. Despite sharing presentation and gameplay similarities, Gotham Knights is a standalone story disconnected from the Arkham universe. Arkham fans shouldn’t let that bother them just yet though, as the action looks fantastic whether you’re fighting crime alone or with a partner.

The title says it all. As the Suicide Squad, a government task force of imprisoned supervillains, you are trying to kill Superman and the rest of the Justice League. While we haven’t seen the game yet and know little about the project in general, the game is being developed by Rocksteady, the mastermind behind the stellar Batman Arkham series. That alone is enough to give us faith that they can do the right thing with Suicide Squad. The reveal trailer confirmed that Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark are on the team, but we don’t know which members of the Justice League they’ll face other than a seemingly mind-controlled Man of Steel. Thankfully, we’ll get to see the game for the first time in over a year at the DC FanDome in October.

The third act of Insomniac’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales games pits both heroes against one of Spidey’s deadliest foes: Venom. Although both heroes are present, Spider-Man 2 is a single player experience, but we don’t know if you will switch between both spiders at will or during scripted moments. Insomniac has shown that he can responsibly wield the power of Spider-Man, so we are confident in whatever approach they decide to take. 2023 is a long time to wait, but our spider senses tell us it will be worth it.

Insomniac, not content with just taking on Spider-Man, shocked the video game world by announcing that he is also making a Wolverine game. Outside of a brief cinematic trailer, we know little about this exciting project. Insomniac confirmed that he will have a mature tone and alluded that his myth is disconnected from his Spiderverse. Eagle-eyed fans also found subtle Easter eggs in the trailer that hinted at the Hulk. We have a good time before we get answers as the game is in a very early stage of development and does not have a release window.
