LEGO Batman on Switch 2 set for Sept 18

Warner Bros. Games said on Thursday that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will come to Nintendo Switch 2 on September 18, extending the game’s release beyond the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC versions already on sale. Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists the Switch 2 edition with a September 18, 2026 release date and a $69.99 digital price. Warner Bros. support pages and the game’s official site say the Switch 2 launch will coincide with the first major add-on, called the Mayhem Collection. ### What exactly was confirmed on June 4? Gematsu reported on June 4 that publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer TT Games announced the Switch 2 date as September 18. Nintendo’s U.S. store page for the game matches that date and identifies the platform as Nintendo Switch 2. Warner Bros. support materials show the Switch 2 version had previously been described only as arriving later in 2026. (nintendo.com) The new date turns that window into a fixed launch plan for Nintendo’s new console. ### What is arriving with the Switch 2 version? The official game site says the Mayhem Collection will release on September 18, the same day as the Switch 2 edition. (gematsu.com) The site describes it as a separate post-launch DLC release and says it is included with the Deluxe Edition, with the base game required. Nintendo’s Canadian store listing for the Deluxe Edition says that package includes the full base game, three themed packs in a “Legacy Collection,” and the “Mayhem Collection.” The listing says the Mayhem Collection adds a new story mission, a Mayhem Mode featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn, and a villain-themed Sinister Pack.

Nintendo’s U.S. store page says one new Batsuit inspired by “The Dark Knight Returns” is included with pre-order of either the standard game or the Deluxe Edition. Warner Bros. support says digital pre-orders receive the content automatically, while physical pre-orders include a voucher code in the box. (nintendo.com) Warner Bros. support also says pre-order handling can vary by format and platform, and the original notice referenced bonuses “where applicable” in some regions. Nintendo’s U.S. page shows the pre-order item for that market, while regional store pages may differ. ### How is the Switch 2 version being sold? Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists a digital standard edition at $69.99. (nintendo.com) Warner Bros. support says the Deluxe Edition is priced at $89.99 on platforms where the game is already available, and Nintendo’s Canada store page confirms a Switch 2 Deluxe Edition listing with bundled DLC content. The Nintendo U.S. listing estimates the game file size at 24.4 GB and says it supports TV, tabletop and handheld play modes. The store page also marks the game as featuring in-game purchases. ### What kind of Batman game is this? Warner Bros.’ FAQ describes LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight as an open-world action-adventure game following Bruce Wayne “from origin to legend.” The company says the story includes allies such as Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl, and draws on Batman films, television, comics and games. (nintendo.com) TT Games is the developer and Warner Bros. Games is the publisher, according to Gematsu, Nintendo’s store pages and Warner Bros. support materials. ### What should players watch next? September 18 is the next dated milestone in Warner Bros.’ rollout. Nintendo’s store pages show the Switch 2 version and multiple add-ons already listed, including the Mayhem Mode, Sinister Pack and Arkham Trilogy Pack, while the official site says the Mayhem Collection lands the same day as the console release.
