LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on September 18, 2026

Day‑one availability of the Mayhem Collection for Deluxe Edition owners raises questions about how the Switch 2 port will handle the game's visuals and performance.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. Games and TT Games confirmed on Wednesday, June 3, that the Switch 2 version will launch on September 18, 2026, and pre‑orders are now live.
  • The Mayhem Collection DLC will release the same day and adds playable Joker and Harley Quinn characters, a new story mission, a Mayhem Mode, seven new suits, five Batcave items, and a new Batmobile.
  • Deluxe Edition buyers receive the Mayhem Collection and Legacy Collection extras, plus three‑day early access and limited physical bonuses such as a Retro Video Game Batman minifigure and a Dark Knight Returns Batsuit for some pre‑orders.
  • The base game debuted on May 22 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC to generally strong reviews with Metacritic scores in the mid‑80s and noted co‑development support from Rocksteady influencing its Arkham‑style combat.
  • Observers say the Switch 2 port will face close technical scrutiny because recent third‑party Switch ports required post‑launch optimization, and some retailers are using a bonus Batsuit to drive early pre‑orders.
