LEGO Batman Sept 18 Switch 2

Warner Bros. Games said on June 3 that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will launch worldwide for Nintendo Switch 2 on Sept. 18, 2026, giving the platform a dated version of a game that had previously been slated more broadly for 2026. The company published the date in a release distributed through Games Press, and trade outlets including Gematsu and VGChartz matched the Sept. 18 listing in follow-up reports. The Switch 2 version is being published by Warner Bros. Games and developed by TT Games, the same pairing behind the game’s earlier multi-platform launch. Warner Bros. Games’ official game page had previously listed PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, but without a specific Switch 2 day-and-date release. ### Where did the Sept. 18 date come from? (gamespress.com) Games Press carried Warner Bros. Games’ June 3 announcement saying the Switch 2 edition would launch worldwide on Sept. 18, 2026. The release also said pre-orders were available immediately for the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. VGChartz published a June 4 article repeating the Sept. 18 date for Switch 2, citing publisher and developer materials. (warnerbrosgames.com) Gematsu separately reported the same date and identified Warner Bros. Games and TT Games as the companies behind the announcement. ### Was the game already out on other platforms? Warner Bros. (gamespress.com) Games said in a May launch announcement that the title had already released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Deluxe Edition owners getting early access before the full rollout. A separate earlier release-date notice said the main launch on those platforms had been moved up to May 22, 2026, with early access beginning May 19. (vgchartz.com) That means the Sept. 18 date is not the game’s first overall release. It is the dedicated launch date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version. ### What is Warner Bros. selling with the Switch 2 release? Warner Bros. Games said the Sept. 18 rollout will include the base game on Switch 2 and the Mayhem Collection downloadable content on the same day. (warnerbrosgames.com) The company described that DLC as adding a Mayhem Mode and making The Joker and Harley Quinn playable. (gamespress.com) The company’s official materials describe the game as an open-world action-adventure set in Gotham City that follows Bruce Wayne from his early training to his rise as Batman, alongside allies including Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl. ### How does Warner Bros. describe the game itself? Warner Bros. Games said the title was developed by TT Games, the studio behind earlier LEGO titles including LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. (gamespress.com) The publisher’s official page says the game draws on Batman’s history across films, television, comics and games. A May launch release from Warner Bros. (warnerbrosgames.com) Games said the game includes a new combat system, an open-world Gotham City and a customizable Batcave. In that statement, JB Perrette, CEO and president of global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery, said the company was excited to bring together Batman storytelling, gameplay and LEGO humor. ### What happens next for players waiting on Switch 2? Sept. 18, 2026 is now the date attached to the Nintendo Switch 2 version across Warner Bros. Games’ announcement and outlet reports. Warner Bros. Games said pre-orders for the Switch 2 edition are already live, and the same day is set to bring the Mayhem Collection DLC to all platforms. (gamespress.com) (warnerbrosgames.com)
