How is LEGO Batman similar to Batman Arkham? Rocksteady specialists added elements of their project

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight received its first high ratings before its release on May 22, 2026. Critics praise the game for its open world, amount of content, and combat system, which turned out to be similar to the Batman: Arkham series.

The credits for the Traveller’s Tales project list developers from Rocksteady and WB Games Montreal. According to media reports, about 24 Rocksteady specialists participated in the game's creation.

Employees from WB Games Montreal, known for Batman: Arkham Origins, also joined the project. Thanks to this, the developers were able to transfer the atmosphere and mechanics of Arkham into a LEGO format.

So what do LEGO Batman and Batman Arkham have in common? These are dynamic, spectacular counter-attacks and skirmishes with large groups of thugs, perfectly replicating the dynamics of dark action games. The open world creates a dark, gothic Gotham, explored from a third-person perspective, full of secrets and a unique atmosphere.

Also in this world, you can find collectible puzzles — characteristic secrets and challenges that fans of the series will immediately associate with the Riddler's trophies.
