LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight for Nintendo Switch 2 Lacks Online Multiplayer Support

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is the latest highly anticipated entry in the iconic LEGO video game franchise, currently in development by industry veterans TT Games for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Announced for release in 2026, this title continues the tradition of bringing beloved comic book characters into the imaginative, family-friendly world of LEGO, offering fans a creative and interactive experience.

The reveal of this game has generated widespread excitement, particularly among Nintendo fans looking forward to new software for the next-generation hardware platform. Despite impressive visuals and promising gameplay revealed in early development footage, it has now been officially confirmed that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will not include support for online multiplayer or online co-op at launch.

This follows a longstanding pattern in TT Games' LEGO titles, which have largely focused on single-player or local cooperative play, excluding online features—a decision that has been a frequent topic of discussion among the LEGO gaming community. In a clear statement, representatives for TT Games affirmed, "LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is designed for single player and local co-op experiences only.

There are currently no plans for implementing online multiplayer or co-op functionality." This mirrors the approach taken in recent LEGO releases on platforms such as the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox, with the notable exception of LEGO 2K Drive, which did incorporate online connectivity. While this decision may disappoint some players, sales metrics and feedback from previous TT Games LEGO titles have shown that local co-op remains a highly valued feature for families and friends sharing a couch.

However, feedback from fans continues to highlight the growing demand for online multiplayer options, as modern gaming increasingly moves toward connected, cooperative experiences. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will be available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2—Nintendo's upcoming successor to the popular Nintendo Switch system.

TT Games has a long-standing reputation for quality, with the LEGO game franchise surpassing hundreds of millions in cumulative global sales.

With this latest installment, the studio aims to deliver another engaging experience while remaining true to the series' proven formula. For now, players can anticipate the return of the Dark Knight and his allies in a new LEGO adventure launching in 2026, but those hoping for online features will have to rely on traditional local multiplayer modes.

As more information becomes available, Nintendo fans and LEGO enthusiasts can stay tuned to official channels and forthcoming Nintendo Direct presentations for updates regarding gameplay details and release plans.
