Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Moves Up Its Release Date by a Week
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Warner Bros. Games is moving up the release date for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight by one week to May 22 on current gen consoles and PC, alongside early access options for deluxe buyers.
In an unexpected twist for the gaming calendar where delays feel like the default setting, Warner Bros. Games has announced that Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is actually launching a week early. Players can now dive into blocky Gotham on May 22 instead of the originally planned May 29 date.
The game is heading to PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, though owners of Nintendo's newest platform will have to wait a bit longer since a Switch 2 release date is still unannounced. Hype for this project has been running high since its Gamescom reveal last summer, especially because it serves as a spiritual successor to the beloved Arkham series that fans have missed since 2015. Early previews point to a solid mix of classic Lego humor paired with surprisingly deep brawling, stealth, and open world exploration inspired by various cinematic iterations of the Caped Crusader from Tim Burton's classics to modern films.
For those looking to secure their copy early, pre-orders are live right now with some standard digital bonuses attached. Fans who pre-order will snag a special Batsuit inspired by The Dark Knight Returns, while anyone springing for the deluxe edition gets three days of early access starting May 19. The deluxe tier also packs in additional cosmetic options and future DLC missions focusing on villains like The Joker and Harley Quinn.
