How co-op works
Two local players share the story and open-world Gotham, choosing among seven characters whose skills and gadgets cover combat, stealth, traversal, detective work, and challenges. Steam Remote Play Together supports the same shared or split-screen session with a remote partner.
About this game
This is TT Games' most ambitious LEGO Batman yet, pairing the Dark Knight's defining story with weightier combat and a sprawling open-world Gotham. Two players share the screen locally, working together to clear missions, explore rooftops and alleyways, and confront iconic villains. The game is built around true cooperative play, not competitive modes.

Combat rewards coordinated takedowns, gadget loadouts matter during boss encounters, and environmental puzzles require both players to experiment and call out solutions. Exploration feels rewarding because districts hide secrets that unlock new abilities and story beats, keeping both players engaged between main objectives.
Local couch co-op is the only multiplayer option, supporting both single-screen and split-screen layouts plus Steam Remote Play Together. Sessions lean heavily on communication: you will coordinate enemy approaches, split up to solve multi-part puzzles, and plan gadget combos during tougher fights. Best for pairs who enjoy strategic, story-focused teamwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we play online co-op, or is it local only?
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is local co-op only. You can play on the same screen (single-screen or split-screen) or use Steam Remote Play Together to stream the session to a friend online, but there's no native online multiplayer.
How communication-heavy is the co-op?
Very communication-heavy. You'll need to coordinate enemy approaches, call out puzzle solutions when you split up, and plan gadget combos during boss fights. This isn't a drop-in-drop-out experience-it's designed for pairs who enjoy strategic, story-focused teamwork.
Does the second player matter, or are they just a sidekick?
Both players are essential. Environmental puzzles require both of you to experiment and solve multi-part challenges, combat rewards coordinated takedowns, and gadget loadouts matter during boss encounters. The game is built around true cooperative play, not one main player with a helper.
Is this an open-world game, and can we explore Gotham together?
Yes, it features a sprawling open-world Gotham that you explore together locally. Districts hide secrets that unlock new abilities and story beats, so there's plenty to discover between main missions-rooftops, alleyways, and side objectives keep both players engaged.
