TT Games and Warner Bros. just dropped LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a fresh LEGO action‑adventure heading our way in 2026. It’s not just your usual level‑by‑level LEGO romp—this one takes place in an open‑world Gotham, spans Batman’s entire legacy, and aims to spin that classic LEGO humour in a bolder, more dynamic way.
New Playground: Open‑World Gotham
Forget a string of levels. This is full, free roam.
- A sprawling LEGO‑styled Gotham City with crime to stop, puzzles to solve, and secrets to find.
- Grapple, glide, or drive—use the Batgrappler, Batglider, Batmobile and even Batcycles to zip around.
- Customise your Batcave with vehicles, trophies, and a range of iconic Batsuits.
Players can do more than wander—they can really play Batman, without borders.
Legendary Story, Brick by Brick
They’re packing decades of Batman lore into one narrative.
- Starts at Bruce Wayne’s beginnings with the League of Shadows.
- Builds into a full Bat‑fam cast: Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, Gordon, Talia, and more.
- Rogues galore: Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Bane, Ra’s al Ghul, and others turn up.
It’s less a retelling of any single story, more a stitched‑together epic of Batman’s best bits—with LEGO humour added.
Combat: More Punch, More Style
This isn’t your usual button‑mashing.
- New combat invites counters, combo chains, takedowns. Every punch—a show.
- Partner characters come with their own tools: Jim Gordon wields a foam sprayer, Robin has a line launcher, Catwoman wields a whip.
- Two challenging difficulty levels: “Caped Crusader” and the tougher “Dark Knight” mode.
For folks craving something more than easy LEGO statics.
Cross‑Media Cameos & Voice Switches
It’s not just comics or films—it’s both and then some.
- Feels like a LEGO tribute to everything Batman—from comics, films, games, TV.
- The Nolan trilogy, Matt Reeves’ The Batman, and even Arkham game nods are woven into the scenes.
- Example: Bane makes his move, but is voiced by Matt Berry—not Tom Hardy—for that extra LEGO charm.
It’s familiar enough to feel iconic, but playful enough to feel fresh.
Release Details & Platforms
- Scheduled for 2026 release.
- Platforms confirmed: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam/Epic.
- Wish‑listing is open right now for most platforms.
