🦇 LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight – Gotham Goes Open-World in 2026! 🚨

🌆 Gotham Rebuilt Brick by Brick

Gamers, get hyped! 🎮 The Dark Knight is back—but this time in LEGO form like you’ve never seen before. Warner Bros. Games, DC, and TT Games just revealed LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight at Gamescom 2025, dropping worldwide in 2026.

This isn’t your typical LEGO adventure. ❌ Small hub worlds are gone. ✅ In comes a massive, open-world Gotham City, ready to explore with your Batmobile, Batcycle, or even Batman’s iconic glider. Think Arkham vibes 🕶️ but with LEGO’s humor and style.

🚗 Drive It. Grapple It. Smash It.

The open-world Gotham is your playground:

Swing across rooftops with Batman’s grapnel gun 🪢

Glide from skyscrapers like the Arkham Knight 🕊️

Cruise the streets in the Batmobile 🚘 or Batcycle 🏍️

Unlock hidden secrets and collectibles 🎁

And yes—the legendary Batcave is fully customizable 🖤. Collect Batsuits, vehicles, and trophies to showcase your inner Batman fan.

👉 Pro tip: Sign up for a Warner Bros. Games account to unlock the Golden Age Batsuit (1939 Detective Comics look 🟨🖤).

🦸‍♂️ A Story Across Batman’s 86 Years

The campaign starts with Bruce Wayne’s early training in the League of Shadows 🗡️ and takes you through his rise to Gotham’s protector.

You’ll fight alongside the Bat-family:

Robin 🤹

Nightwing ⚔️

Batgirl 🦸‍♀️

Catwoman 🐾

Jim Gordon 🚨

Talia al Ghul 🔥

Each comes with unique gadgets (Robin’s line launcher, Catwoman’s whip, Gordon’s foam sprayer).

And what’s Batman without his rogues? Expect battles against:

🃏 Joker (“Why so serious?” makes a LEGO comeback!)

🐧 Penguin with explosive tricks

🌱 Poison Ivy’s twisted vines

💀 Ra’s al Ghul’s immortal menace

💪 Bane (voiced hilariously by Matt Berry)

🥊 Combat Upgrade – Arkham Meets LEGO

Combat is not button-mashing anymore. ❌

Instead, it’s pure Arkham-style flow combat:

✔️ Combos 🤜

✔️ Parries ✋

✔️ Cinematic finishers 🎥

Better yet, the game supports local two-player co-op, so you and a buddy can clean up Gotham together.

For hardcore gamers, there’s even Caped Crusader mode 🦇 and Dark Knight mode 🖤 for tougher battles.
