LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is set to deliver a larger Gotham City experience than Batman: Arkham Knight, according to a recent source. This game marks the return of the popular series, the first substantial release since 2014’s LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.

In an announcement at Gamescom, Warner Bros. Games revealed the new LEGO Batman game along with a trailer filled with humor, piquing the interest of both Batman enthusiasts and LEGO gaming fans. As anticipation builds for this 2026 release, further details are emerging about the expansive game world, particularly highlighting its larger map.

Increased Size Comparison

The upcoming LEGO Batman game is reputed to feature a more extensive open world, with a version of Gotham City that includes four distinct islands—making it larger than the three islands found in Arkham Knight. According to the recently active Twitter account, LEGO Games News, the new game boasts a substantial increase in size, particularly with the addition of the largest area, South Island.

As Arkham Knight previously held the title for the most complete Gotham City experience, the new LEGO Batman offering is set to change that dynamic, inviting a wider range of gameplay possibilities and characters from the Batman universe. How TT Games will leverage the added digital space remains to be seen, but the potential for more engaging storylines and diverse interactive elements appears promising.
