Lego Batman is back with an open-world Gotham and Arkham-style combat

Players will be free to explore the city on foot, or by any of Batman’s many varied bat-vehicles - (Warner Bros.)

After more than a decade away, Lego Batman is set to return to consoles in what looks to be the plastic superhero’s most ambitious outing yet. Announced at the annual Gamescom expo in Cologne, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a new open-world adventure from TT Games, the veteran studio behind the beloved Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

The reveal trailer gives fans a glimpse of a sprawling, blocky Gotham City that players will be able to freely explore by blasting around in the iconic Batmobile. We see the dinky Batman sliding between enemies in a flurry of combo- and counter-based attacks and executing stealth takedowns from above.
