LEGO BATMAN: LEGACY OF THE DARK KNIGHT made a thunderous debut with a surprise reveal during Gamescom Opening Night Live, instantly becoming the headline moment of the show. The excitement didn’t stop there—throughout the week, the game dominated media coverage with hands-on previews and interviews from top-tier outlets including IGN, GameSpot, GamesRadar+, Polygon, and Game Informer.
