Well, that\u2019s the case with <em>Lego Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight<\/em>, which has a brand new release date, moving the game up by one week ahead of its originally planned release.<\/p>\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new trailer put out by Warner Bros has confirmed the game\u2019s new release date will be May 22nd, a full week ahead of its originally planned May 29 launch date.

The press release simply states: \u201cPlease note, the Nintendo Switch\u21222 version of the game will launch later in 2026.\u201d It remains unclear why a release date for the game on Nintendo\u2019s machine still hasn\u2019t been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was also no mention of why the release date was pushed up. It looks like the team must just be happy with the state of the game and are confident in getting it out the door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the game does look pretty awesome. It\u2019s a mixture of the classic LEGO titles and the <em>Batman: Arkham<\/em> titles, while also paying homage to every major incarnation of the Bat across comics, movies and games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t you just love it when you don\u2019t have to wait for something?
