Has the Gotham Knights release date been confirmed as early or spring 2022, as previously rumored? Fans have long since known that the new DC Comics Batman family game Gotham Knights would be getting action figures by McFarlane Toys and now it’s finally been revealed when these figures will be coming out. However, does the Gotham Knights action figures release date actually point to a possible launch for the game too, as some fans believe?
Gotham Knights action figures release date confirms Spring 2022 for the game?
The exact release dates for the first four primary Gotham Knights action figures have been confirmed by Amazon, with Nightwing and Red Hood figures releasing December 29, 2021, and Robin and Batgirl figures releasing February 16, 2022. There may be more figures later but these are the main four player characters of the game. After the pre-order pages were revealed, fans immediately surmised that this may mean that Gotham Knights may be releasing soon after this, as it stands to reason the first major pieces of tie-in merchandise wouldn’t be released too far in advance.
This theory certainly lines up with the rumors about Gotham Knights’ release. Last month a possible leak of a Spring 2022 release date appeared on the website of a designer helping with the game’s marketing and has since been taken down. Before that, a developer at WB Montreal assured fans that a release date reveal was “coming soon.” With the other major DC Comics co-op game Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League also supposedly out in 2022, Gotham Knights presumably can’t release too late into 2022.
Hope this means that the Spring release date is true.

The release date isn’t the only thing possibly revealed by these Gotham Knights action figures either, as the artwork on Batgirl’s figure strongly suggests that The Joker will make an appearance in the game. With The Game Awards show next week, too, it’s entirely possible fans may not have to wait long to find out Gotham Knights’ release date.
