Enter Gotham City as you've never seen it before, with action, humor and mythical heritage. At Gamescom on August 20, 2025, Warner Bros. Games, TT Games, DC and The LEGO Group announced LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight's Legacy, an action-adventure game scheduled for release in 2026.
Developed by TT Games, already behind LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and published by Warner Bros. Games, the title will be released on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2. With over 86 years of Batman stories as inspiration, the game promises to mix cult scenes with typical LEGO humor.
As JB Perrette, President and CEO, Streaming & Games at Warner Bros. Discovery,"our exceptional team at TT Games is working passionately to deliver a fresh take on the beloved Batman universe, with new and improved features beyond what previous LEGO games have offered".
This new opus introduces an all-new combat system designed to reflect the style of the Dark Knight. Players will enjoy fluid sequences, precise counters and spectacular strikes. Batman will be able to use his iconic gadgets such as the Batarangs and the Bat-griffe, while each ally will have their own equipment, such as Catwoman 's whip or Robin's cable launcher.
The title also features two new difficulty levels,"Caped Crusader" and"Dark Knight", to provide a real challenge for seasoned gamers. According to Jonathan Smith, Strategic Director at TT Games:"Our all-new combat mechanics are incredibly fun and take the LEGO gaming experience to a whole new level".
The game follows the story of Bruce Wayne, from his training with the League of Shadows to his destiny as Gotham's protector. Players will form a veritable "Batfam" alongside iconic characters such as Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman and Jim Gordon. Together, they'll face off against the DC Universe's most famous super-villains, including the Joker, Poison Ivy, the Penguin, Ra's al Ghul and Bane.
LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight's Legacy is aimed at fans of Batman and LEGO games, eager to rediscover the great milestones in the legend of the Dark Knight in an accessible universe tinged with humor. Fans of cooperative games will appreciate the possibility of playing as a duo in Gotham City. The game will suit connoisseurs of the DC universe as well as families looking for a fun and entertaining experience.
On the other hand, those looking for an ultra-realistic, dark gaming experience may be disappointed. Despite the immersion and redesigned combat, the LEGO approach retains a humorous, family-friendly dimension, far removed from darker, narrative titles like the Batman Arkham saga. Gamers solely interested in dramatic tension or complex RPG mechanics won't find the same intensity here.
The adventure takes place in a fully open LEGO Gotham City, filled with crimes to stop, puzzles to solve and collectibles to discover. Players will be able to traverse the city using the Grapple Launcher, Bat Glider and iconic vehicles such as the Batmobile and Batcycles. The customizable Batcave will serve as a base for displaying trophies, vehicles and costumes inspired by the hero's story.
Finally, Warner Bros. Games is offering pre-registration bonuses. Players who create an account will be able to unlock the "Golden Age" costume, inspired by the very first Detective Comics n°27 from 1939. Can't wait for 2026!
