A brand-new gameplay video for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was revealed during The Game Awards, giving fans a fresh look at the next major LEGO take on the DC universe. The footage offered a short but clear glimpse at combat, traversal, and the game’s signature lighthearted tone.
The gameplay clip leaned heavily into fast-paced action and co-op-friendly design, with Batman navigating familiar Gotham-inspired environments built entirely from LEGO bricks. Visual effects, gadgets, and character animations suggest the game is aiming to modernize the classic LEGO formula rather than reinvent it completely.
Alongside the gameplay reveal, the release date was also confirmed. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will launch on May 29, 2026. While platforms weren’t discussed during the presentation, the announcement positions the title as one of the more family-friendly releases lined up for next year.
The Game Awards appearance signals that the project is moving into a more public-facing phase. Until now, details had been limited, but the new footage confirms that development is well underway and that the core gameplay loop is already taking shape. More information, including extended gameplay and platform details, is expected to be shared closer to release.
With its first proper gameplay showcase now out in the open, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is starting to look like a confident return for the series. The next question is how much of Gotham the game will let players tear apart, brick by brick.
