Gameplay and Story
Legacy of the Dark Knight continues the trend of high-quality LEGO games seen in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. While accessible to children, the gameplay incorporates stealth and combo-based action rather than simple button-mashing. The combat system utilizes elements found in the Batman: Arkham series, alongside puzzles and clue-based detective work.
The story begins with Bruce Wayne training with The League of Shadows before returning to Gotham. Players will team up with Jim Gordon, Robin, Catwoman, Nightwing, and Batgirl. The roster of villains includes Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Bane, and Mr. Freeze. A major focus of the game is collecting items, specifically 100 suits, more than 20 vehicles, and over 250 props and trophies to display in the Batcave.
Preorder Bonuses and Physical Sets
Preordering any version of the game unlocks the The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit skin. If the Deluxe Edition is preordered, the early access period begins on May 26.
Additionally, LEGO is releasing four physical sets related to the game. These sets feature a display-worthy Batman symbol and different incarnations of the Batmobile. Each physical set includes a free golden skin that can be unlocked and used within the video game.
