According to TT Games internal source LEGOTtNewsI, Warner Bros. Games will officially announce the new "Lego Batman" game on August 19 this month, and it is scheduled to be released before spring 2026.The work will be developed in reference to the open world model of "Lego Star Wars: Skywalker" and may be adapted from the 2022 movie "New Batman".This move aims to fill the three-year window of Batman single-player console games - since the markets of "Gotham Knights" and "Suicide Squad: Eliminate Justice League" were cold in 2022, the VR work "Batman: Shadow of Arkham" was released in 2024 only.
Sources pointed out that the LEGO adaptation is a transitional strategy for Warner Bros. Games.The cumulative sales of the LEGO Batman Trilogy (2008-2014) exceeded 22 million copies, and the fusion of the dark aesthetics and LEGO humorous style of 2022 has aroused players' expectations.The film's rich content supports the feasibility of adaptation, and TT Games has previously had experience in successfully adapting movies.
At the same time, Warner Bros. Games is promoting Batman IP in multiple lines: the LEGO work will be developed by TT Games in the short term; the mid-term launch of "Batman: Arkham Asylum Remake" will be led by members of the original Rocksteady team; the long-term plan will be the "Batman: Future" trilogy exclusive to PlayStation. The series features Terry McGinnis as the main character, but is expected to be launched after 2028.
