Buckle up, Batman\u2122 and LEGO\u00ae fans, it\u2019s what you\u2019ve been waiting for: the Caped Crusader returns May 22 with the release of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight<\/a>.<\/a> Not only that, the game is part of Intel\u2019s Spring Bundle, which means it\u2019s free with qualifying purchases<\/a>. In advance of the launch, we\u2019d like to tell you all about the DC delights to come.<\/p>\n

The new game fits together flawlessly with the storied history of Batman movies, television shows, and, of course, video games. TT Games is back on developer duty and, in the must-see \u201cBuilding the Legacy<\/a>\u201d behind-the-scenes mini-doc, TT Games\u2019 Strategic Director and Head of Development Team, Jonathan Smith, affirmed that with LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the team was able to \u201cdraw upon the whole history of that wonderful character and distil decades of fantastic storytelling to really immerse players in the experience of becoming the Dark Knight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s unbox this for you. Your experience begins at Wayne Manor, where young Bruce Wayne lives an idyllic life with his parents\u2026 well, we know how that turns out so let\u2019s skip ahead, past the well-full-of-bats formative experience, and on to training with The League of Shadows. Bruce returns to Gotham City, alongside the greatest crime-fighting allies, ready to face off against a Rogues\u2019 Gallery of infamous DC Super-Villains. And yes, the city itself looks amazing: awesomely cinematic at a distance, full of wit, craft, and charm up-close as the brick-by-brick brilliance of the environment unfolds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gotham City is a stunning open world full of secrets and surprises to discover, puzzles to solve, challenges to complete, rewards to collect, and crimes to stop. As you progress, you pick up the skills you need to turn back the rising tide of crime and have a ridiculous amount of fun while doing so. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight also introduces a dynamic new combat system that delivers an authentic expression of Batman\u2019s fighting style with fluid attack chains, over-the-top takedowns, and awesome gadgets. You can play solo or team up with a friend through two-player local couch co-op mode.<\/p>\n

This brings us to characters\u2014all giants of the DC universe no matter their size. Batman is playable, of course, and so is Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Jim Gordon, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul. Who do you face off against? That Rogues\u2019 Gallery we mentioned includes (but isn\u2019t limited to) The Joker, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Ra\u2019s al Ghul, and Bane (who gets a hilarious steps-on-LEGO brick moment in the trailer<\/a>, because even DC Super-Villains can feel that stuff through their socks). Each playable character has unique skills, plus signature gadgets, all on show as they explore, uncover crimes, and complete challenges in their own way. Do we start with Batman\u2019s Batarang, Jim Gordon\u2019s Foam Sprayer, Catwoman\u2019s whip\u2026? So many cool choices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of choices, there are 100 different suits and outfits to earn throughout the story campaign, which includes an array of Batsuits and outfits for every playable character, all closely inspired by Batman\u2019s legacy in media. Eligible players can also unlock the Golden Age Batsuit inspired by Detective Comics #27 published in 1939. First, you need to sign up for a WB Games account here<\/a>. (Eligible players with existing accounts need to log to their WB Games account at launch to redeem the item.) It\u2019s a gorgeous piece of history, and the ears of the cowl alone bring a lot of joy to an already joyful game.<\/p>\n

Now you\u2019re looking sharp, what do you tool around town in to complete the vibe? Well, there are a few options there, too. Over 20 vehicles, in fact. Cruise the landmarks of Gotham City in a range of Batmobiles and Batcycles, including the legendary Tumbler from the Dark Knight Trilogy. The levels of immersion are by now off the charts; as Jonathan Smith says: \u201cYou\u2019re in a world of Gotham City that is more alive and rich than any environment we\u2019ve ever created.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is so much more to discover (do we have time to mention the over 250 Batcave props and trophies you can get access to in order to customize the Batcave and celebrate achievements\u2026?), so start your countdown to launch now. You don\u2019t want to miss this glorious celebration of all things Batman. It\u2019s time to put on the cape and cowl, gamers.<\/p>\n
