Warner Bros. Games Debuts Gotham Knights Gameplay Trailer Spotlighting Red Hood

Sydney, Australia – August 11th, 2022: Warner Bros. Games and DC has revealed a new gameplay trailer for Gotham Knights, the upcoming open-world action RPG in development by Warner Bros. Games Montréal.

The video features all-new gameplay and custom cutscenes of Red Hood, also known as Jason Todd. An intense vigilante with a short fuse, Red Hood is a highly trained marksman and hard-hitting, hand-to-hand fighter who’s reached the peak of human strength, making him an expert in both ranged and melee combat. After his violent death and subsequent resurrection in the Lazarus Pit, Red Hood gained the ability to harness mystical powers that aid him in battle and allow him to propel his body through the air to traverse the city. Despite his complicated past, Red Hood has reconciled with the Batman Family and is committed to using non-lethal combat methods to protect Gotham City in the wake of Batman’s death.

View the Gotham Knights – Official Red Hood Gameplay Trailer here:

Gotham Knights is scheduled to release worldwide on Oct. 25, 2022 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Pre-orders will receive the 233 Kustom Batcycle Skin at launch, based on the vehicle’s first appearance in DC’s Detective Comics #233.

Gotham Knights features the Batman Family as players step into the roles of Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin, a new guard of trained DC Super Heroes who must rise up as the protectors of Gotham City in the wake of Batman’s death. From solving mysteries that connect the darkest chapters in the city’s history to defeating notorious villains in epic confrontations, players will confront an array of challenges as they evolve into their own version of the Dark Knight.

Interview with CaffeineCraft at Anime Magic! 2022

This past weekend during our time at Anime Magic! 2022 we had some time to sit down and interview CaffeineCraft, a cosplayer from Chicago who is entirely self taught and has been cosplaying and competing in masquerades for over ten years. Starting with sewing before moving into foam smithing, make-up, and 3D printing. His skill and attention to detail have won him various awards over the years.

In the interview, found below, we ask about his process in developing a cosplay outfit, his favorite materials to use, and even a bit about what got him into cosplaying all while he wears his most recent creation, an extensively detailed, and difficult to sit in, take on the Mizutsune armor from Monster Hunter.

Kayleigh McKee Interview at Anime Magic! 2022

During the Anime Magic! 2022 event held this past weekend we had a chance to sit down and interview voice actress Kayleigh McKee who has handled the voice of Pina from Beastars, Yuta from Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and Testament from Guilty Gear Strive.

As one of the few transgender women in voice acting she had plenty to say about her time as a voice actress, her favorite roles, and more including a brief sample of her range as a voice actress. The video for the interview can be found below and as for the event, Anime Magic! is set to return sometime next year in 2023 though no set date has been announced at this time.

Anime Magic! 2022 Cosplay Masquerade Contest

Just like every good anime convention this past weekend’s Anime Magic! 2022 convention at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center featured a cosplay masquerade that allowed those who wished to participate have their cosplay costumes judged in various skill levels ranging from novice to master.

We recorded this cosplay masquerade and were able to watch numerous competitors show off their costumes on stage and make various poses as well as see just who the judges thought were their favorites.

This includes cosplayers who participated in an earlier smaller “hallway” competition before the final winners were revealed. Check out the full video below to see just who won each category.

Anime Magic 2022 Opening Ceremony

This past weekend we stopped in at the Anime Magic! 2022 convention held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and after spending plenty of time looking around, doing a bit of shopping, and interviewing guests that we will have posted shortly we stopped in to see the opening ceremony for this year’s events.

The full video of the opening ceremony can be found below where many of the panel guests, cosplay judges, professional voice actors, and more are introduced though it is worth noting that the lighting situation was not the best and as a result the video may appear a bit rough looking at times.

Currently Anime Magic! is set to return sometime in 2023 though no set date has been announced at this time.
