Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was the biggest game announcement of Gamescom 2025, according to industry analyst Chris Dring, and frankly, I'm not surprised. While some may scoff and think "it's just another Lego game," Legacy of the Dark Knight looks super impressive, and the closest thing to a fifth Arkham game as we're going to get at this rate, with Rocksteady's games being a big inspiration for Lego Batman.

It's also the first Lego game from TT Games since 2022's Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which marked the biggest technical leap forward for the Lego series, transforming them from solid, family-friendly beat-'em-ups into a full-fledged third-person action game.
