In the history of video games, release dates change all the time. Normally release dates are delayed in order for a game to be more polished at launch. However, an earlier release date has been announced for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight today.
The new release date for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is May 22nd, 2026. This is a week earlier than the release date that was announced for the game previously. If you get the deluxe version of the game, you can play it earlier on May 19th, 2026.
Please remember the May 22nd release date is only for the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version of the game. No release date has been announced for the Switch 2 version yet, but it will be out sometime in 2026.
Here’s more info about the game from the press release.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an all-new open-world action-adventure videogame that invites players to embark on Bruce Wayne’s epic journey to become the hero of Gotham City, inspired by decades of Batman films, television shows, comic books, and games, combined with DC lore and TT Games’ signature brand of fun-filled LEGO humour.
Players can unlock the Golden Age Batsuit (at launch), a classic outfit based on the Caped Crusader’s debut look from Detective Comics #27 (1939), accessible for eligible users who create a Warner Bros. Games account, as well as those who already have an account.
Additionally, four new LEGO DC Batman sets are available now, each including in-game digital content redeemable when LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight releases. The LEGO® DC Batman™: Batman Logo set will unlock an exclusive gold Batsuit for the videogame, and the LEGO® DC Batman™: The Batman™ Batmobile™, LEGO® DC Batman™ Batman v Superman™ Batmobile™, and LEGO® DC Batman: Batman & Robin™ Batmobile™ sets will include an in-game playable version of each respective vehicle, plus an exclusive gold variant of each vehicle, for the videogame. Please note, the exclusive in-game gold Batsuit and gold vehicle variants are only available through purchase of the LEGO sets.
