Warner Bros. Games has moved up the release of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight by one week, setting the new launch date for May 22. The game will debut simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, and Epic Games Store, giving fans earlier access to the anticipated title. Nintendo Switch 2 players will need to wait for a later release this year, missing the initial launch window.

Deluxe edition buyers gain early entry three days before the official launch date. Everyone who pre-orders receives the exclusive The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit from the start. Warner Bros. appears confident in the title's appeal, shortening the wait time for eager fans who have been anticipating this Lego adaptation of the iconic superhero's rich history.

Developed by TT Games, the studio behind the well-received Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, this title aims to capture the same expansive storytelling approach. The previous game successfully incorporated nine movies worth of material into its gameplay, setting high expectations for this Batman iteration. Fans hope the developer can deliver a similarly comprehensive experience drawing from Batman's nearly nine decades of comic history.
