The latest version of Gotham Knights has just been released, and in addition to correcting bugs and other problems, it also adds new content. Although the launch of Gotham Knights wasn’t perfect, the game’s creators are striving to fix it, and the latest update aims to enhance the Batman Arkham Universe-set game.
In 2022, Gotham Knights was released; to put it mildly, it was not the best. The performance of Gotham Knights and the lack of features on consoles were major complaints when it was released. Many gamers have observed a significant improvement in the gameplay experience since the game’s release.
The makers of Gotham Knights recently published an update that addressed many of the problems on PC and platform versions. For the fans’ benefit, the April 27 update to Gotham Knights appears to accomplish the same while introducing new content.
All the modifications, bug fixes, and enhancements included in this new release were recently made public via the Gotham Knights’ official Twitter account. Players will get access to a new Gotham Knights Heroic Assault called The Kelvin Incident, per the updated patch notes.
After unlocking the raid area and completing every side villain task, this additional material will be accessible in the new game plus mode. Along with this inclusion, the update also includes a new gear tier, resources for raid drops, more formidable foes, and new transmogs.
Attention Gothamites – the lastest Patch has arrived with Heroic Assault: The Kelvin Incident and more updates.

The game’s accessibility has been greatly improved in addition to the new content. Players now have access to controller remapping in the game, allowing them to alter their controls in whatever they choose. This option includes keyboards, controllers, and even mice for PC users.
Users who used the Text-to-Speech tool should have a better experience now that it has been updated because it has also been improved. Fortunately for console users, this feature is not another Gotham Knights PC-only one. Thus it will be available to everyone.
Numerous bug fixes and game enhancements were made available to Gotham Knights PC players. The patch notes state that Steam Deck should work better for PC users, that drawing and shadow distance shouldn’t cause any problems when playing with a wide field of view, and that several Heroic Assault levels’ streaming textures should be corrected.

Fans of Gotham Knights who haven’t played the game in a while may want to start it up after downloading the April 27 update because it will improve gameplay overall.
