- A notable insider with a credible track record confirms that the new Lego Batman game is even bigger than Arkham Knight.
- The insider argues that many mechanics, such as Batmobile controls and gameplay elements, are also similar in nature.
- The game will also feature NPCs and an open world that feels more alive than the previous Lego Batman games.
It’s been a while since the last large successful Batman game release, and after the failure of Suicide Squad, fans have also lost hope for the franchise altogether. However, the reveal of a new Lego Batman game has somewhat revived the interest of the community.
Now, new tidbits about Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight have leaked, clarifying that its open world is even larger than the developers have let on so far. The game outright surpasses the open world of Arkham Knight in size alone.
Why it matters: The success of the new Lego Batman game could revitalize the tired gaming scene and may push Warner Bros. to take the franchise more seriously.
As confirmed by the credible Lego games leaker, @LEGOTtNews, Gotham City in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight features a huge open world that will also feel alive. It will be filled with NPCs instead of being ‘evacuated’ like in the past Lego Batman titles.
The game will have Gotham City divided into four explorable islands. Additionally, the Batmobile controls and many other mechanics will also resemble Arkham Knight to ensure players have the most fluid Batman experience despite the cartoony art style.
This insider was also responsible for leaking the existence of the new Lego Batman project by TT Games a month ago, so his words have been taken seriously by the Lego gaming community. However, it is still best to be cautiously optimistic until official confirmation.
Warner Bros. is also supposedly working on multiple Batman games, including a Batman Beyond project by Rocksteady. But it will likely be years before we hear anything official about these works.
