Warner Bros. Games announced Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The game is planned for Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC next year. The debut trailer leans into the familiar Lego humor, with appearances by the Joker, Catwoman, and Bane, and features gadgets like the Batarang and the Batmobile.

Details about gameplay and features are still sparse. The studio says more information will come as the release window approaches, leaving fans to anticipate how the brick based Gotham will play on next gen hardware and across platforms.

The move to Switch 2 broadens the Lego Batman audience to Nintendo’s latest hardware while keeping faith with the family friendly action that has defined the series. The partnership with Warner Bros. Games reinforces a long standing strategy of cross platform releases that make familiar licenses accessible to many players.

This release fits a pattern in which studios lean on nostalgia and approachable design to stand out in a crowded market. Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight may benefit from Batman’s enduring appeal while offering a lighter, more playful take that can attract players who do not typically buy superhero games.
