Hey gamers and Batman fans! Get ready because after waiting more than ten years, Lego Batman is coming back in 2026!
The new game is called "Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight," and from what was shown at Gamescom, this isn’t just a regular sequel.
It’s going to be one of the biggest and most epic Lego adventures ever made!
Picture this: instead of the old linear levels, you’ll be exploring the whole city of Gotham in a big, open world that’s detailed and full of action!
You can drive the Batmobile freely, racing through dark and dangerous streets of the city.
Even better is the fighting style! Don’t think it’s just simple punches. TT Games, the developers, have taken inspiration from the legendary Batman: Arkham games. There are combo attacks, counterattacks, stealth takedowns, and even a new difficulty level that you can adjust. So whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore gamer, there’s something for everyone.
Of course, you don’t just play as Batman. You can choose to be Catwoman, Robin, Batgirl, or even Commissioner Gordon! The story is an original tale inspired by all of Batman’s legacy, from comics, movies, and TV shows. The trailer already shows funny parodies of classic scenes, like Bane’s monologue voiced by Matt Berry, and the return of Joker and Penguin.
In short, this game is a love letter to all Batman fans. As Jim Lee from DC said, it celebrates every side of Batman: the fearsome Dark Knight, the genius detective, and even the “father” figure to the Bat-family.
With an open world, deep combat system, and rich content, "Legacy of the Dark Knight" promises to be the biggest and most ambitious Lego game ever made.
Mark your calendars!
The game is set for a 2026 release on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
