Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark KnightCredit: Warner Bros.Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight released on May 22 for PlayStation 5, Xbox X|S and PC, and Warner Bros. has announced today that it’s now headed to Nintendo’s Switch 2 on September 18, in both Standard and Deluxe editions. Deluxe owners will also get the upcoming Mayhem Collection DLC on release day.The Arkham-inspired homage to Batman’s cinematic tapestry is sitting at a respectable score of 84 on Metacritic, at least for the PS5 version, while the Xbox port is a couple points higher at 86. Here’s what IGN said about it in their review:“Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a lovingly made, often hilarious take on both Batman’s movie and video game history alike. It remixes classic moments from almost every film, with deeper cuts from the Caped Crusader’s comic book beginnings, too. A largely successful attempt at sophisticating Lego combat that suffers a bit from repetitive, one-note encounter design, combined with a good mixture of puzzles, powers its homage-laden levels. But its open-world Gotham is where it truly comes to life, generously packing its gothic surroundings with hundreds of collectibles and pockets of opportunity. It might not tell a story that will sit alongside Batman’s best overall, but it delivers a fantastic plastic parody of his greatest hits.”Interestingly, I’m actually in the middle of finally playing through Rocksteady’s original Batman: Arkham titles, and Replaced, an indie cyberpunk side-scroller that looks to the old Batman adventures for inspiration. Replaced is fantastic, by the way, and you can truly feel the Arkham DNA. I finished Asylum last week, and despite some complaints regarding the writing, I had a genuinely good time. The atmosphere and the combat system were both standouts, and seemingly, Rocksteady was involved with the development of Legacy of the Dark Knight. This bodes well for bringing over what I loved most about Asylum, and Arkham City, which I’m deep into now.MORE FOR YOUWe’ll have to wait and see how Legacy of the Dark Knight runs on Nintendo’s deliberately underpowered hardware. If you don’t have a Switch 2 yet, and you’re in the market for one, I’d recommend taking the plunge now, as the price of the console is scheduled to go up on September 1 of 2026, moving from $449.99 to $499.99 in the US. Just in time for Batman’s arrival, it appears.
