LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight due in 2026 Open-World Gotham

At Gamescom 2025, TT Games and Warner Bros. announced LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a 2026 release for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch 2 that the studio says will fuse decades of Batman material into a single, open‑world LEGO adventure set in an expanded Gotham City. Developers described the project as using new technology first deployed on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga to create a larger, more immersive city and a combat system explicitly inspired by Rocksteady’s Batman Arkham games, while retaining LEGO’s trademark humor and accessibility.

Jonathan Smith, strategic director at TT Games, told reporters the team drew on stories from movies, television, comics and games to build “one definitive, essential, epic story of Batman.” He said the studio aimed to honor Arkham’s “experience of being surrounded by enemies, of fluid combos, and hit counters, and takedowns” but also to “bring our own LEGO approach” by deepening gadget use and making the design more approachable for younger players. Smith added that new technology gives the team “opportunities” to scale the game beyond previous LEGO titles.
