Warner Bros. and DC announced today that Gotham Knights will be the next video game in the Batman universe. It’s an open-world action role-playing game set in Gotham City — without Batman — and it’s coming in 2021 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.

You’ll be able to play as vigilante heroes such as Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin. The companies revealed the title from Warner Bros. Games Montréal during the DC Fandome event Saturday. If you noticed someone missing there, it’s Batman, as the trailer suggests that Batman has died in an explosion north of the city.
