Building upon the foundation set by the previous LEGO Batman games, developer Traveler's Tales returns to the helm with this new game, and it is currently in development for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.

It will feature an open-world setting of Gotham, where players control the DC hero to stop crime and engage in investigations using high-tech gadgets.

Gameplay ranges from patrolling on foot, engaging in hand-to-hand combat, and stealth akin to Rocksteady's Batman Arkham franchise, to tracking down criminals in the Batmobile. This new experience will be inspired by the decades of Batman content, including comics, movies, TV shows, etc, while also featuring returning villains, like Joker, Poison Ivy, and more.

New difficulty modes introduce much-needed challenge to the LEGO franchise via the new Caped Crusader and Dark Knight options. This is on top of more playable characters, such as Catwoman and Jim Gordon, in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. Lastly, as is tradition for the series, co-op will be included from the get-go, including two-player splitscreen.

Fans will be able to immerse themselves in the adventure by also visiting the Batcave hub and personalizing it as desired, by displaying Bat-vehicles, Batsuits, trophies, and more.

Those who sign up for a Warner Bros. Games account can earn the exclusive Golden Age Batsuit (based on Detective Comics #27 from 1939) for free when the game launches next year.
