LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the fourth Lego game starring Batman, will launch worldwide on multiple platforms in May 2026. The game loosely follows Batman’s movie saga and classic storylines, blending open-world Gotham with Lego’s trademark slapstick humor, IGN said [1].
Players can access the game on Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S [1]. Those who buy the deluxe early access edition will get to play three days before the full release. Early access for consoles begins on Monday, May 18, 2026, starting at 9 p.m. PDT for the U.S. West Coast, rolling out to other time zones at local midnight thereafter [1]. Early access on PC starts Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 10 a.m. PDT for U.S. players, expanding globally through May 20 for Asia-Pacific regions [1].
Full access for consoles worldwide will open with a rolling midnight launch on Friday, May 22, timed locally (e.g., 9 p.m. PDT May 21, midnight EDT May 22) [2, 1]. PC players gain full access later that day at 1 p.m. EDT (10 a.m. PDT, 6 p.m. BST) [2, 1].
Players can preload the game on all platforms once purchased [2]. The release schedule aims to accommodate gamers across global time zones with a synchronized launch window.
The release will mark a new chapter in Lego's Batman series and offer players an extensive and humorous plastic parody of Batman’s greatest hits, combining classic narratives and modern gameplay [1].
