The revelation that TT Games next project really is a Lego Batman game may have been the biggest and best revelation from Gamescom Opening Night Live. There are still much more details about Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight to be revealed, but less than 24 hours after his great moment, Warner Bros. Already worried that it is planning to charge $ 80 for its next Lego game.
Warner Bros. And TT has not been asked about the potential price of the inheritance from the dark knight, but for some reason the studio decided to ask themselves even though they have no answer, at least not one they are ready to share. Detected by Stephen Totilo contains Legacy of the Dark Knight's FAQ page a question about Lego Batman's price, but it does not have a definitive answer.
Warner Bros. asks how much inheritance from the dark knight will cost and then refuse to answer
It not only has a definitive answer, but the answer given to the question of its price feels like it is in relation to a completely different question. Instead of confirming how much inheritance from the dark knight will cost, or even note that it has not landed at a price yet, FAQ's response wanders that pre -orders are not yet available, but points fans to platforms that they can now wish the game.
WB's reluctance to get involved in a prize have people worried that the Lego Batman game will be the first $ 80 game of the studio. Several big players in video games have tried to navigate how they can go with Nintendo on the $ 80 plateau. Mario Kart World costs $ 80, and now that someone has jumped, everyone else wants to follow, even if they are not brave enough to say it loudly.
Xbox tried to make the leap and revealed that the outer worlds 2 would cost $ 80. It quickly turned that decision, probably because it went down like a lead balloon and the pre -order sales did not do too hot. Now we do not know when Xbox will do the $ 80 jump, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's price is confirmed, and the default edition will cost $ 70.
Nothing has managed to follow in Mario Kart World's $ 80 footprints so far, not even its Switch 2 follow-up, Donkey Kong Bananza, with Nintendo, which sticks to $ 70 for the DK game. However, if any studio thinks it may be the next to move up to $ 80, it is Warner Bros. Lego Batman tied to large IPS, appeals to players of all ages and uses the same formula as Skywalker Saga, which sold millions. I am not convinced that Lego Batman should be a $ 80 game, but WB can be.
