The Early Access for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will begin in around 4 hours from now. However, it appears that a Hypervisor bypass for its Denuvo protection has already been released.
I know it’s fairly easy to bypass Denuvo with Hypervisor these days, but I wasn’t expecting a bypass before the Early Access phase even started. So, ironically, the people who get to enjoy the game first are the pirates.
I should also note that I’ll be using the term “bypass” for everything related to Hypervisor. For voices38’s bypasses, I’ll keep using the term “crack“.
Personally, I’m not a fan of the Hypervisor bypasses. To use them, you have to disable certain Windows security features. That’s a hard no for me, no matter how badly you want to play a game. So if you’re planning to sail the high seas, you should stick with voices38’s cracks. At least in my opinion.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a narrative-led action-adventure from TT Games, creators of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Players will step into Bruce Wayne’s journey to become Batman, forging bonds with trusted allies while facing Gotham City’s most dangerous and iconic DC Super-Villains.
You will embark on a journey that begins with the origins of Batman as a young Bruce Wayne trains with The League of Shadows, becomes the hero of Gotham City, and forges a new family of allies with Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl. Furthermore, you will confront an ever-growing threat from across Batman’s Rogue’s Gallery as you face The Joker, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Bane, and more.
The game will have a combat system that combines fluid combos, stealth techniques, and detective skills. Players will use them to take on crime across the streets and rooftops of Gotham City. They will command a full range of Batmobiles and Batcycles, including the legendary Tumbler, as they navigate an open and immersive Gotham City. Players can grapple, glide, or drive through the open world with agility and speed. At the same time, they will discover crimes, challenges, rewards, secrets, and iconic landmarks such as Arkham Asylum, Ace Chemicals, and Wayne Tower.
Warner Bros added Denuvo in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight in the last minute. However, it’s worth pointing out that the publisher has removed Denuvo from a couple of its games. Gotham Knights, Back 4 Blood, and Mortal Kombat 11 no longer use it. So, Warner Bros may remove it from this new LEGO game in one or two years.
Other companies that have removed Denuvo from their games are Capcom, Square Enix, Bethesda, and Bandai Namco.
In November 2025, Capcom removed Denuvo from Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and Resident Evil Village are also Denuvo-free as we speak. Similarly, Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake no longer use it. In July 2025, the Japanese team also removed it from Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Plus, Capcom has recently removed it from Resident Evil 4 Remake. So, it will be interesting to see when the team will remove it from Requiem.
On the other hand, Square Enix has removed it from DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake. In December 2025, they also removed it from Just Cause 3. SE has also removed it from The Diofield Chronicle, VALKYRIE ELYSIUM, TRIANGLE STRATEGY, LIVE A LIVE, and Forspoken. Moreover, both Octopath Traveler and its sequel no longer use it. And that’s not all. In May 2024, SE removed it from Star Ocean The Second Story R. Finally, in March 2025, the publisher removed it from Final Fantasy 16.
Bethesda’s Wolfenstein Youngblood, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Doom Eternal no longer have it. Then we have Bandai Namco, which has removed it from Tekken 7 and NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER.
And that’s not all. In March 2023, KRAFTON removed Denuvo from The Callisto Protocol. NEOWIZ has also removed it from its Souls-like game, Lies of P. In October 2024, Gearbox removed it from Homeworld 3, too.
Warner Bros has not provided us with a review code. However, since the game’s official PC requirements were quite high, I’ve already pre-ordered it. So, I’ll be sure to share my initial PC performance impressions later today.
