While the game looks like your typical Far Cry experience--huge world, lots of guns, a celebrity villain to murder--one of the better parts of the Far Cry template is back and ready to rock through the entire campaign: co-op.

The spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead needs a little more time to bake but at least there’s an open beta to look forward to!

Gotham Knights isn’t going to be just a lone caped crusader simulator. Warner Bros.
