Gotham Knights has been going for less than half-price of late, and right on time Warner Bros has released a free update for the PS5 brawler. Four-player mode Heroic Assault was technically announced prior to launch, but is available to download and enjoy now. As previously mentioned, this isn’t DLC or paid content – if you own the game, it’s yours.
“Heroic Assault is an upcoming gameplay mode that is separate from the main story campaign,” official documentation from the developer reads. “The standalone mode supports up to four players in online co-op and provides a dedicated arena-like environment with specific objectives to complete and enemies to defeat on each floor.”
There are 30 floors to master in total, which should add some longevity to the release. Along the way, you’ll encounter a new threat in the form of “the highly advanced alien lifeform Starro, the Conqueror, as well as the formidable half-human/half-bat hybrid Man-Bat”.
Remember, the main game supports two player co-op already, but this is a separate activity from that, and there are no plans to add four-players to the campaign. Those of you sticking to the two-player mode can try out new Showdown battles, which feature supercharged versions of the game’s main DC Super-Villains, including M. Freeze, Harley Quinn, Clayface, and Talia al Ghul, with brand new legendary gear on the line.

Hope you can do this solo.
@WallyWest that's what I'm gonna try after getting platinum in God of War Ragnarok.
Still hoping for a QOL update to add haptic feedback/adaptive trigger support to help with the feel of the combat and driving the motorcycle 😒
@WallyWest Absolutely but it's a LOT more fun with another player. And you're not 'tethered' to them either. You can be at one end of the map and they can be at the other, and all pickups / completions count for both players. But the fights and questlines are more fun with two or more players for sure.
“four play”
yooooo
Cool. The Batman universe is my favorite in the superhero genre so despite some concerns I decided to get this when it was on sale during Black Friday and happy I did, one of my favorite games of the year. I'll definitely be checking this mode out.
