The Caped Crusader returns next year with Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launching on PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on May 29, 2026. This all-new Lego Batman title looks to be a tribute to multiple eras of the hero, letting players explore different versions of Gotham City as multiple Lego-ified incarnations of Batman. Preorders are now open for the game, including a $70 standard edition and a $90 Deluxe Edition, which includes new gear and vehicles to help protect the streets of Gotham. You can also start playing the game a few days early if you preorder the Deluxe Edition. All other versions include bonus cosmetics for securing a copy of the game before launch.
However, the most notable point about the Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is that the Switch 2 version appears to be a true physical version, not a Game Key-Card release. So, unless something changes before launch, that means the full game will be on the cartridge and won’t require you to download it to the console’s limited SSD or a microSD Express card. This would make sense considering recent news that Nintendo is offering publishers a smaller cartridge option.
