"Batman's storied gaming history is what makes Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight feel so good. The title is a reference to the many interpretations of Batman across film, TV, and comics that appear in this unified adventure, but it also applies to how the game plays. Based on the hour that I got to play during New York Comic Con, it's clear that veteran studio Traveller's Tales is creating a loving send-off for open-world Batman games, giving the caped crusader a charming final run through the familiar formula he helped create."
"But much like 2022's Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Legacy of the Dark Knight is focused on deepening the core mechanics. The button-mashing flurry of punches from past Lego Batman games has been replaced with proper, Arkham-style free-flow combat. Batman can now use his grappling hook and cape to zip across this moody, brickified version of Gotham. There are stealth mechanics that see Batman sneaking through air ducts and perching on gargoyles to stay out of sight. The Batmobile can be summoned at will, and missions even feature detective and forensics work ripped straight from Rocksteady's games."
Legacy of the Dark Knight is an open-world Lego game set in Gotham City that blends classic Lego charm with modern Arkham-inspired mechanics. The game replaces prior button-mashing combat with Arkham-style free-flow combat, adds grappling hook and cape traversal, and implements stealth that includes air ducts and gargoyle perching. The Batmobile is summonable on demand and missions feature detective and forensics gameplay. Traveller's Tales focuses on deepening core mechanics rather than overhauling the formula. The title references multiple Batman interpretations across film, TV, and comics while honoring the series' lasting influence on licensed games.
