A Long-Awaited Return for LEGO Batman
The Dark Knight is officially back in LEGO form. During Gamescom 2025’s Opening Night Live, TT Games and Warner Bros. Games unveiled LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, marking the long-anticipated return of the beloved LEGO Batman series.
This new entry dives deep into Bruce Wayne’s early years, well before he donned the cape and cowl. Players will follow his training with the League of Shadows, exploring how his skills and resolve were forged long before becoming Gotham’s protector.
The Bat-Family and Iconic Villains
Batman won’t be facing Gotham’s dangers alone. The game will feature several Bat-family allies, including Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl.
Together, they will confront some of Gotham’s most notorious villains. Confirmed antagonists include Poison Ivy, Penguin, and the ever-chaotic Joker, ensuring fans get a mix of classic enemies and familiar storylines.
Evolved Combat and Gameplay
Unlike the simpler button-mashing combat of older LEGO titles, this game introduces a dynamic combat system. Players can chain fluid combos, perform stealth takedowns, and take control of Batman’s signature vehicles to traverse Gotham.
The developers emphasise that this evolution will deliver a more modern action-adventure experience while maintaining the humor, accessibility, and cooperative fun that define LEGO games. With this blend, TT Games looks set to attract both long-time LEGO fans and new audiences seeking engaging superhero gameplay.
Release Date and Platforms
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is planned for release in 2026, arriving on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. With a darker origin story, beloved heroes, and a fresh combat system, this could be the most ambitious LEGO Batman game yet.
