Gotham KnightsandHogwarts Legacyare on track to release in 2022, according to WarnerMedia’s CEO, Jason Kilar - but an early 2022 release window for Gotham Knights looks increasingly unlikely.
In a lengthyTwitter threadabout WarnerMedia’s Q4 2021 and full year 2021 results, Kilar touched on the corporation’s plans to continue its 2021 strategy “with a sense of urgency” in 2022, with that strategy involving the launchHBO Maxin more countries, launching CNN+, and “delivering of a full slate of highly anticipated games”.
The tweet then included an image of a Succession billboard and the CNN+ Logo, alongside images ofHogwarts Legacyand Gotham Knights - confirming both games are still on track to release in 2022.

Analysis: but is it all good news?
Confirmation that Hogwarts Legacy and Gotham Knights are still set to release in 2022 isn’t ahuge surprise, as theofficial Warner Bros. Brazil Twitter accountrecently put together a thread of the company’s upcoming game releases, which included Gotham Knights and Hogwarts Legacy. While a recent blog post onthe Wizarding World websitealso insisted that Hogwarts Legacy is releasing in 2022.
But while Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t have a more defined release window than ‘2022’, and therefore will likely aim for (and hit) release date in the tail end of the year, Gotham Knights looks like it could be headed for another delay.
WB Games Montréal’s upcoming action RPG, centered on a Gotham City without Batman, is set to release in early 2022 but, given we still knowverylittle about the game as of January 2022, we imagine an announcement of its delay to later in the year is probably imminent.
But with five games due to release in 2022, two of which are DC titles, when exactly Warner Bros would delay the game until remains to be seen. Fortunately, withSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguestill without a solid release date Warner Bros. will likely be able to juggle these release dates around to ensure the two games aren’t in competition.
