LEGO Batman lands on Switch 2 in 2026

TT Games reveals a new LEGO Batman game for Switch 2, adapting iconic Batman movie moments with a blocky combat system and family friendly humor.

LEGO Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight Lands on Switch 2 in 2026

TT Games revealed LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight at GamesCom Opening Night Live. The game is planned for Switch 2 in 2026 and will feature a brick built take on Batman's famous movie moments, with appearances by The Joker, Penguin and Bane, voiced by Matt Berry. A new combat system and multiple difficulty options are highlighted, along with LEGO humour.

The project follows the success of LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga, and TT Games aims to deliver a similar mix of accessible play, humor, and open ended exploration. The game is described as block based and story driven, designed to appeal to both long time LEGO game fans and newcomers on the Switch 2.

Industry watchers see this as part of a broader push to extend established licenses onto new hardware generations. The Switch 2 gives TT Games a chance to reach families and casual players with a familiar, low stress format, while also leaning on nostalgia for Batman's cinematic era. The challenge will be balancing new gameplay depth with the accessible blocky style.

The risk is whether the release can replicate Skywalker Saga's critical and commercial success. If Legacy of the Dark Knight lands with robust co op, strong level design, and smart difficulty options, it could set a reliable template for licensed LEGO games on a new platform.
