Current owners can also look forward to the new Mayhem Collection DLC, which launches on the same day. Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is arguably the best Lego video game to date. On Metacritic, it has an average score of over 84 across three different platforms (Xbox S/X, PS5, and PC), which is higher than all previous titles, including Lego Star Wars And Lego Marvel superheroes. Unfortunately, people who prefer to play on Nintendo have been missing out so far. But that changes this fall when lego batman comes to Switch 2 on September 18.
Legacy of the Dark Knight for the Switch 2 will be available in two versions: the Standard Edition for $70 and the Deluxe Edition for $90. The latter comes with the base game as well as the Legacy Collection DLC and access to the new Mayhem Collection DLC, which will launch simultaneously on all platforms (Xbox S/X, PS5, PC and Switch 2) on September 18. However, potentially the most enticing bonus for people who order a physical copy of the deluxe version is a free Batman minifigure from the Lego Retro video game. But if you want to, you’ll have to be quick because Warner Bros. claims that this offer will only be available “while supplies last.”
For Switch 2 owners, WB Games hopes to sweeten the deal even further with a handful of pre-order bonuses. Anyone who purchases either version of the game will receive a special Dark Knight Returns suit, while people who opt for the deluxe edition will also get three days of early access before the game officially launches on the 18th.
As for Mayhem Collection, the upcoming DLC features a new game mode featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn as playable characters, as well as a new story mission, additional costumes for Batman, more items for the Batcave, and a new look for the Batmobile. Meanwhile, for all existing owners of the base game, you will be able to purchase all of the Deluxe Edition content as a standalone upgrade for $25.
