Gotham’s protector is back, and this time, he’s bringing the entire legacy with him. TT Games and Warner Bros. Games have officially revealed LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, an ambitious action-adventure title launching in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
This isn’t just another LEGO game—it’s shaping up to be the most comprehensive Batman experience ever built brick by brick.
A Journey Through Batman’s History
From Bruce Wayne’s early training to modern takes on the Dark Knight, the story campaign explores every era of Batman’s journey. Fans can relive iconic storylines while meeting allies like Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, Jim Gordon, and even Talia al Ghul. Of course, Gotham’s rogues’ gallery isn’t staying quiet—Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Bane, and Ra’s al Ghul headline the villain lineup.
Gameplay: Arkham Spirit Meets LEGO Charm
One of the most exciting upgrades is the combat system, which blends LEGO’s accessibility with Arkham-inspired freeflow combat. Expect fluid combos, counters, and cinematic takedowns, all with the signature LEGO humor intact. Stealth also plays a bigger role than ever, letting players embrace Batman’s shadowy side.
Exploration feels larger and more alive too. Gotham is fully open world, complete with vertical traversal, crime interruptions, vehicles, and the freedom to glide, grapple, and stalk rooftops.
Features That Fans Will Love
- Two-player local co-op for dynamic Bat-family gameplay.
- The Batcave hub, customizable with collectibles, vehicles, and Batsuits.
- Iconic suits across Batman’s long history, each with unique perks.
- Multiple difficulty modes, including a brutal “Dark Knight” setting.

This mix of darker atmosphere and playful LEGO design has early previews calling it one of the strongest blends of Batman authenticity and LEGO fun yet.
The Road Ahead
Preorders and wishlists are already open, and excitement is sky-high. With TT Games returning to form and Gotham built bigger than ever before, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight could be a defining entry in both the LEGO and Batman game legacies.
We at Open World Games can’t wait to dive into Gotham’s brick-built shadows when the game launches in 2026.
