Today during the Gotham Publishing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, DC announced the official prequel to the game. Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City is written by Evan Narcisse (Gen: LOCK, Rise of the Black Panther) with art by ABEL (Harley Quinn). This six-issue monthly limited series arrives in comic book stores and participating digital platforms on Tuesday, October 25 and leads directly into the videogame launch, which will release the same day. 

The comic book series will also launch simultaneously on October 25 in the following markets: Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Mexico will distribute the series as both individual issues and a hardcover collected edition, while the collected edition will be available in Poland (hardcover collection scheduled to release in the U.S. and these markets on July 25, 2023). 

In Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City, a mysterious virus has infected Gotham City—turning its victims into rabid, yellow-irised maniacs driven to looting, theft, and bursts of anger.

For the debut issue, readers will receive the exclusive BOSO22 Batcycle Skin, which will be available when the Gotham Knights game launches.
