Gotham Knights November 29th PC Update Patch Notes

5 Comments

Warner Bros has released a brand new update for Gotham Knights. According to the release notes, the November 29th Patch adds a four player co-op mode, called Heroic Assault.

The changelog also claims that this update makes further optimizations to improve the stability of the framerate, and improves frame pacing. However, and after testing the game, we can report that there are still major stuttering issues while driving the bike. To be honest, and at this point, I don’t expect Warner Bros to ever address these issues.

As always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
