What time will the new LEGO Batman game be released?
Players who purchased the Deluxe Edition have already been able to enter Gotham before the rest of the public. Early access began on May 19th and guarantees three extra days before the worldwide release of the standard version.
Those who chose the Standard Edition can begin their journey on Friday the 22nd. On the computer, the unlock happens at noon Brasília time. On consoles, the system follows the traditional midnight release according to each region's time zone.
What will the story of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight be?
The campaign follows Bruce Wayne's journey from his training with the League of Shadows to his establishment as Gotham's defender. Throughout the narrative, the player witnesses several important moments in the hero's career. TT Games has confirmed that several well-known characters will have a direct role in the main story.
Among the allies present are Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul. The progression system also allows you to assemble a true Bat-family during the adventure. On the other side appear classic enemies who have accompanied Batman for decades. Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Bane, and Ra's al Ghul have already been officially introduced in promotional materials.
What's interesting is that LEGO Batman isn't limited to just one era of the character. The game features elements inspired by movies, cartoons, comics, and classic games, delivering a complete celebration of the DC hero's history.
Gotham City will feature an open world and classic references
One of the biggest innovations in LEGO Batman is its proposal to present a more vibrant and detailed Gotham. The map was developed in an open-world format, allowing free exploration of different regions of the city. Furthermore, the game pays homage to various phases of the hero in comics, films, and television series. There is content inspired by the Batman of the 1960s, classic comic book arcs, and even some very famous alternate versions.
Among the confirmed highlights is the outfit based on Gotham by Gaslight, a story originally released in 1989 that took Batman to a steampunk setting. Not to mention the darker tone of the adventure. While maintaining the characteristic humor of the LEGO franchise, the new title focuses on more cinematic moments and scenes that directly recall the most memorable phases of the DC character.
