The wait is almost over for LEGO Batman enthusiasts eager to dive into Legacy of the Dark Knight, TT Games' latest adventure. Departing from the traditional LEGO game formula, this title introduces an expansive open-world Gotham, an Arkham-style combat system, and hundreds of collectibles to discover.
The official launch is set for May 22, but players who pre-order the Digital Deluxe edition gain three days of early access starting May 19. Here are the exact unlock times across platforms.
Early Access Release Times
For Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, the game unlocks at midnight local time on May 19. For UK players, that is 12am BST.
On PC, Warner Bros. has opted for a global launch at 10am PT on May 19, which translates to 6pm BST on the same day — 18 hours later than the console release.
Full Launch Times
For the official May 22 launch, the same structure applies: console players get midnight local unlocks, while PC users must wait until 6pm BST on May 22.
Does the New Zealand Trick Work?
The New Zealand trick, which involves changing your console's time zone to unlock games early, is expected to work for early access. Since the game rolls out at midnight locally, setting your console to New Zealand time could grant access from 1pm BST on May 18. However, this has not yet been confirmed.
Will you be jumping into LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight as soon as it unlocks?
