The story is set to follow the journey of Batman from his beginnings as Bruce Wayne all the way to the Caped Crusader we all know and love alongside his roster of sidekicks.

Per the interview with Lead Developer Jonathan Smith during the Xbox @ Gamescom 2025 Livestream he revealed the order in which sidekicks will join the story starting with Talia Al Ghul, Commissioner Gordon and Catwoman. As Batman grows older we will meet Dick Grayson’s Robin (who then becomes Nightwing) and be introduced to Gordon’s daughter, Barbara Gordon (who becomes Bat Girl).

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a brand-new open world action adventure video game 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, comic books, and games, and jam-packed with Batman nostalgia, DC lore, and TT Games’ signature brand of fun-filled LEGO humor.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has already had two trailers, A reveal trailer was shown off at Gamescom on August 19th, 2025. This trailer showcased snippets of Bruce Wayne’s journey to becoming The Batman, introducing us to the open world Gotham and the game’s new combat system. The second trailer was shown recently at The Game Awards 2025 on December 11th, 2025. This trailer showed off the cast of characters we’ll encounter both Villains & Heroes alike. We also learnt that the game will release on May 29th, 2026 with  Standard and Deluxe Editions available to pre-order now, the Nintendo Switch 2 version was unfortunately delayed.

That’s not all as the official LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight social accounts have been actively showing off some of the Suits and Vehicles we’ll be able to unlock in the game. Some even include special gold variants that can be unlocked by purchasing certain Batman LEGO Sets.

How Long Is The Story Of ‘LEGO Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight’?

Twitter / X Account LEGO Games News (@LEGOTtNewsI) has stated that LEGO Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight is 15 Hours Long, with the story divided into Six Chapters / Eras making it the second longest LEGO Game (LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga comes in at 18.5 Hours Long per HowLongToBeat). The LEGO Group seemingly confirmed this with a reply to the original post which says the following: “An eras tour, if you will. 🧐”.

The 15 Hour Length likely doesn’t include completing all the side content which means a Completionist Run could double the playtime at the very least. Additionally, in September 2026 we have the Mayhem Collection which will include an all new Story Mission and Mayhem Mode which will definitely increase the overall length of the game.
