After launching on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC back in May, TT Games’ LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight finally has a date for the version Switch 2 owners have been waiting on, with Warner Bros. Games confirming a September 18 release. Preorders are open now, with the Standard Edition running $69.99 and the Deluxe Edition $89.99. The same day also brings the Mayhem Collection DLC across every platform, adding a new Mayhem Mode with The Joker and Harley Quinn as playable characters for Deluxe Edition owners.

On Switch 2, the Deluxe Edition is where most of the extras live. Owners get the Legacy Collection at launch, a trio of packs themed around the Batman: Arkham games, the Batman Beyond series, and party music, along with the Mayhem Collection and, for physical buyers, a free LEGO Retro Video Game Batman minifigure while supplies last. Every Switch 2 preorder, Standard or Deluxe, also throws in The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit at launch, drawn from the acclaimed comic.

The Mayhem Collection is the bigger draw across the board, and it is not a Switch 2 exclusive. It arrives September 18 for Deluxe Edition owners on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC, packing the new Mayhem Mode, a new story mission, and the Sinister Pack, which adds seven new suits, five new Batcave items, and a new Batmobile for the open world. Anyone who already owns the Standard Edition on those other platforms can grab the Deluxe upgrade for $24.99, unlocking the Legacy Collection right away and the Mayhem Collection when it lands.

Developed by TT Games, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an open-world spin on Bruce Wayne’s road from origin to legend, with an original story that pulls from decades of Batman films, shows, comics, and games on top of the usual pile of LEGO humor.
