Traveller's Tales Reportedly Developing a New LEGO Batman Game
For two decades, Traveller's Tales has delighted players with their signature LEGO adventure games, bringing to life beloved franchises from Star Wars and Harry Potter to The Lord of the Rings and various Marvel and DC superheroes. Now, fresh rumors suggest the developers are hard at work on a new LEGO Batman game.
The studio's most recent major release was LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Despite its massive success, the game's development was reportedly fraught with internal challenges for Traveller's Tales. Earlier in 2023, the studio even had to cancel several unannounced projects, including those known internally as Project Marley and Project Cosmic.
Taking Inspiration from The Skywalker Saga
According to these new whispers, the upcoming Batman title will not be a part of the existing LEGO Batman trilogy (which includes LEGO Batman: The Videogame, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, and LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham). Instead, it's being crafted in the vein of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This means players can expect a humorous adaptation of storylines from multiple Batman films, rather than focusing on a single narrative.
The core events of the game are said to unfold in Gotham City, with the environment itself changing to reflect the specific cinematic era players choose to explore. This approach promises a fresh take on the Caped Crusader within the blocky, humorous LEGO universe.
Potential Release Window and Announcement
The insider claims that this new LEGO Batman game is slated for release in the first quarter of next year, placing its launch sometime between January and March. It's likely we'll see an official announcement at an upcoming presentation. The insider specifically points to the opening ceremony of gamescom 2025, which kicks off on August 19th at 9:00 PM Moscow time (which is 6 PM UTC/2 PM ET), as a potential reveal platform.
If these rumors hold true, fans of both LEGO games and the Dark Knight have a lot to look forward to. A new LEGO Batman title, especially one that takes cues from the ambitious, multi-film approach of The Skywalker Saga, could offer a vast and hilarious adventure, revisiting iconic moments from Batman's cinematic history in a truly unique way.
