Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight officially launches on May 29, 2026, but gamers who are willing to spend a little extra cash can start the adventure a few days early.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Early Access details
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight released a new trailer during the Game Awards a few weeks ago. Shortly after that exciting new footage, the team behind the upcoming game also shared details about pre-order bonuses and the multiple editions that would be available for the game at launch.
When Legacy of the Dark Knight releases on May 29, players will have both a standard and Deluxe Edition available. As expected, the Deluxe Edition includes a bunch of extra cosmetic content and two future DLC packs, but there’s also an early access bonus for shoppers who pre-order this SKU.
Consumers who pre-order the Deluxe Edition, which currently retails for $90, gain 3-days early access to the game. Pre-order customers will also receive a Dark Knight Returns-inspired batsuit.
Shoppers should note that the 72-hour early access is typically guaranteed for digital pre-orders. If you are ordering a physical Deluxe Edition, check with your retailer.
Everything included in the Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Deluxe Edition
The $90 price tag is $20 more than the standard edition, so it’s quite possible many gamers won’t feel the 72-hour early access period is worth the extra $20. For players who are on the fence, here is a full list of everything included in the Deluxe Edition package:
- Full Base Game
- Legacy Collection
- Arkham Trilogy Pack
- Batman Beyond Pack
- Party Music Pack
- Mayhem Collection*
- Play as The Joker and Harley Quinn
- All-New Story Mission
- Mayhem Mode
- Sinister Pack
- Play as The Joker and Harley Quinn
- Pre-Order Incentive
- 3-Days Early Access
- “The Dark Knight Returns” Batsuit
Each shopper will have to make their own decision to decide if the Deluxe Edition is worth the price tag, but a good consideration is whether or not purchasing the future DLC seems likely in your situation. If you feel like you are likely to purchase the post-launch DLC, then the sticker shock of the Deluxe Edition may not feel quite as severe. The Mayhem Collection is aiming for a September 2026 launch and will add an all-new story mission.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight releases May 29, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
