LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is now officially available for those who purchased the Deluxe Edition of the game on Steam. However, it was made available even earlier due to a cracked release of LEGO Batman that leaked hours ahead of even the official release time.
According to reporting from GameGPU, a pirate aficionado going by the name of DenuvOwO published a way to bypass Denuvo, the chosen anti-piracy method used by LEGO Batman. Recently, DenuvOwO was said to be one of the people or groups that discovered a way to bypass the Denuvo hypervisor protections. This led to a more aggressive "check-in" period for legitimate copies of games sold by 2K.
Not only was the Denuvo bypass shared ahead of release, the content of the game was also shared ahead of release. Reports say that torrents for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight were appearing online hours ahead of the game's official release.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is the latest in a growing string of PC titles that have somehow been leaked before any official release. Previously, we saw Subnautica 2, Forza Horizon 6, and Death Stranding 2. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight also had a different kind of early "leak" earlier this month. Apparently, a few users that pre-ordered the digital version of the game through Walmart were sent codes that unlocked the full game early, but only on Xbox.
As previously mentioned, the advanced access release of LEGO Batman is now officially available. The base version of the game will be out on May 22 for those that don't feel like spending extra.
EDIT: Am actually seeing reports that the requirements were way overblown, and people are getting way over 60fps without frame gen at all.
Also sometimes the audio is just ... broken.
