More than half a year after release, Gotham Knights continues to receive content updates. The latest addition is the ‘Kelvin Incident‘ a 15-floor raid that promises great new gear. One of the most notable additions is a new transmog suit that players can equip. To get through the raid, players will have to battle much tougher enemies across the gauntlet. Initial playthroughs are putting the length of the gauntlet at around three hours for just the first five levels. Here’s everything new in the update.
