The Dark Knight is ready for release: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight “went to gold”

The main news of the day for all DC and brick fans: TT Games studio and Warner Bros. publishing house. Games has officially announced that development of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has been completed. The master copy of the game has been sent to press, which means that the final countdown has begun - the global release will take place right on time, May 22, 2026.

What awaits us? The developers call the project a “soft restart.” Forget about the usual division into levels: the game goes towards a full-fledged cinematic adventure in the open world.

Here's why it's worth waiting for the new product:

Arkham-style combat:For the first time in the LEGO series, the combat and stealth system is completely redesigned, influenced by hits from Rocksteady. Smooth combo chains, spectacular counterattacks with gadgets and advanced parkour around the city await us.

The Brave Seven: In “Legacy Gotham” you can switch between seven heroes. In addition to Batman himself, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Catwoman have been confirmed. Each has its own unique devices: for example, Nightwing uses a wingsuit, and Batgirl uses drones for hacking.

Ode to Cinema:This is a true tribute to the history of Batman in cinema. The game will feature costumes and locations from the 1989 classic, the Dark Knight trilogy, and the latest films.

Technical details:The game will come to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Nintendo Switch 2 owners will have to wait until the end of summer. By the way, PC players should check their hardware: for comfortable gaming in 4K, an impressive 32 GB of RAM is recommended.
