Gotham Knights, a current-gen exclusive, rated for Switch
11.09.2023 - 13:11 / destructoid.com / Gotham Knights
In an era that’s still filled with previous-and-current-gen simul-releases, Gotham Knights bucked the trend with a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S exclusive console release. Now, it might be coming to the Switch.
This is according to a new ESRB rating that popped up, which added Switch as a platform to its listing. Note that ESRB ratings don’t usually apply to Switch cloud-based games, so in all likelihood, this is a legitimate port. We’ve reached out to WB for clarification.
As a reminder, here’s the ESRB rating reasoning itself, which is a hoot:
“This is an action role-playing game in which players control one of four Batman Family members through missions around Gotham City. Players explore open-world environments while investigating crime scenes and fighting criminals/villains. Players mostly engage in melee-style combat using punches, kicks, and takedowns to defeat enemies. Combat is highlighted by impact sounds, cries of pain, occasional gunfire, and explosions. Stealth attacks and takedowns result in brief cutscenes: characters slamming enemies’ heads into floors/walls; kicks/knees to the head; close-range gunshots to enemies’ torsos. Blood stains are sometimes depicted on wounded characters’ faces and/or clothing and splattered around crime scenes; some bodies can be examined for autopsy during investigations. The game contains several alcohol references (e.g., wine, beer, whiskey, drunkenness), and one scene depicts a villain drinking whiskey. Some characters can be seen smoking in various areas of Gotham City. The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in the game.”
“One scene depicts a villain drinking whiskey.” Classic!
But in all seriousness, Gotham Knights is extremely mediocre,

Gotham Knights Has Been Rated For Switch In Korea
Sometimes, gamers must ask out loud, “Who asked for this?” Usually, those moments come when a video game arrives that quite simply doesn’t live up to the hype or the long development time it took to get made. When Gotham Knights was released last year after a long wait, many gamers indeed wondered who asked for a title like that. While the concept was good, the execution was lacking, leading to many woes, including optimization across all platforms. Now, a new rating again implies that the Nintendo Switch will get a version of the title.
