LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was one of the big announcements at Gamescom Opening Night Live earlier this week, and a new video featuring 30 minutes of footage gives us a closer look at what to expect from it.
You can watch this above, and the big takeaway that most people are leaving in the comments is that it’s a spiritual successor to the Arkham games. If that turns out to be the case, we’ll be very happy indeed when it arrives in 2026!
We’re still waiting on a definitive date for this one, but we know it’s definitely coming to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S when it releases, and we’ll leave you with some more information and screenshots for the game down below.
Embark on a journey that begins with the origins of Batman as a young Bruce Wayne trains with The League of Shadows, becomes the hero of Gotham City, and forge a new family of allies with Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl. Confront an ever-growing threat from across Batman’s Rogue’s Gallery as you face The Joker, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Bane, and more.
Play as Batman with an exhilarating new combat system, combining fluid combos, stealth techniques, and detective skills to take on crime across the streets and rooftops of Gotham City. Command a full range of Batmobiles and Batcycles, including the legendary Tumbler, as you navigate an open and immersive Gotham City. Grapple, glide, or drive through the open world with agility and speed, while discovering crimes, challenges, rewards, secrets, and iconic landmarks such as Arkham Asylum, Ace Chemicals, and Wayne Tower.
