LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launched on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 18, 2026, alongside the Mayhem Collection DLC. The game runs at a locked 30fps on the new console, a decision that drew criticism from some fans. The update includes The Joker and Harley Quinn as playable characters, new gameplay modes, and a free difficulty increase for all owners.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight offers a variable playtime depending on your goals: 12–14 hours for the main story, 17–25 hours for a mix of story and side quests, and 35+ hours for complete 100% completion. The game features six chapters plus a prologue, a sprawling Gotham City filled with side activities, and three difficulties. Replay opportunities and a future Mayhem Mode DLC (Sept 2026) add to the time sink.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an open-world, largely chill title. Start with story missions to unlock characters, tools, and gold bricks to upgrade your skills, then explore freely. Use Detective Mode often to highlight puzzles and interactables, unlock Batman’s grapple slam to deal with shielded foes, and improve Jim Gordon’s bouncing projectile for AR combat. Check the map for activities you can complete before you’ve unlocked all characters, use Batgirl to reveal map icons, and drive the Batmobile to rack up studs. Revisit the Batcave/Batcomputer to replay missions and claim rewards, and don’t miss purple studs (which multiply) for big boosts. You can also upgrade gadgets at Batmite shops and turn off stud loss on death in accessibility settings for a smoother ride.
