Six Batman games are now free on the Epic Games Store, Metro 2033 Redux free next week

203 Comments

Last week, we assumed that a Batman collection would be available for free on EGS. And it appears we were right. Epic Games has just announced that six Batman games are now available for free on the Epic Games Store. These six Batman games are basically the three Rocksteady Batman games and the three Lego Batman games.

In other words, PC gamers can get for free:

    • Batman: Arkham Asylum
    • Batman: Arkham City
    • Batman: Arkham Knight
    • Lego Batman
    • LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
    • LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

Needless to say that the Batman Arkham trilogy is one of the best super heroes game trilogy of all time. Therefore, we strongly suggest acquiring your free copy. That is obviously if you don’t already own the games on Steam.

Next week, Epic Games will offer Metro 2033 Redux for free. This is another game that may interest a number of PC gamers, so yeah… free games for everyone.

You can get for free the Batman Arkham trilogy from here and the LEGO Batman trilogy from here. And before anyone asks, no; Warner Bros has not announced whether its future Batman game will come out exclusively on EGS

Have fun!

      1. True but I still think it’s an amazing collection of free games. Yes I know they’re not technically free according to all the Epic store haters blah blah blah.

          4. I edited the comment just before yours appeared. I guess I was just trying to say that EGS has seemingly made plenty of gamers who previously didn’t pirate games into gamers who exclusively pirate EGS games.

      1. Sorry, but the company being more shilled in this thread is Steam. Whether the shilling is valid or not it’s another question.

          2. How come? When i asked you if buying and using steam makes me a fanboy, then i’m proud to be. You said that i “admitted”. So you admit that buying from steam makes me a fanboy.

          3. I just used your words against you, it’s quite clear the reasons why i think you are a fanboy and it is all exposed in this comment section.

          4. Nah, fam. I already told you. Buying games from steam, using steam, and supporting it doesn’t make me a fanboy. The only thing exposed in this comment section is your stupidity. And of course, your pro-consumer and steam hate. I get it. You don’t like to buy games. Go ahead and use EGS or Codex.

          5. “Buying games from steam, using steam, and supporting it doesn’t make me a fanboy.”

            But endlessly talking about “how great and awesome and how they are the best” makes you a fanboy. In fact, Epic deals exposes your fanboyism, because you hate when a new game isn’t releasing on Steam.

          6. Calling me a fanboy over and over like a sjw calls others racist isn’t an argument.
            I only talked facts. You can call me fanboy all night long. Doesn’t change a thing.

          8. Fine. If you haven’t noticed so far, I couldn’t care less about your pitiful insults. Any reeetard can insult. I mean look at the LordCancer. It’s a bot, so, i’ll give him an excuse.

          9. Yep, he’s excelling at twisting words to form baseless accusations. Probably should be working at Kotaku with those ‘skills’.

          11. It’s borderline painful to observe the transparency of the disingenuous tactics you’re employing to ‘win’ your non-argument. Starting to pity you at this point.

      1. True but it’ll attract some PC gaming noobs who owned those games on console and are now looking to play them again at vastly superior standards of visual fidelity.

  5. Best part is that the games no longer have drm whereas the Steam version of Batman Arkham Knight still has denuvo. Literally GOG material. Thanks epic.

    1. Pandering to potential costumers, the horror. If only they could be like Steam and create a trilogy of games to leave in a eternal cliffhanger…

      1. It’s not that easy. You can blame Valve, but you also can blame the fans and the community. I’ve been in this community since i got into gaming, and it’s one of the most strong community, but also very cancer. They all have huge expectations. Can you imagine the outrage if the game wouldn’t be good? This is Half-Life we’re talking about. One of the most popular games of all time. I’d rather not have the game at all, rather than to have it and hate it.

        1. What a load of rubbish, they stopped making interesting games thanks to fanboys like you that will make excuses (and give then money) at every turn.

          Reply

          2. And since the community rewards bad behaviour by valve, they will keep churning out crap when it comes to games.

          3. Community buys games to play them, not to reward Valve. You can use this logic for EGS too. Timmy buys developers and games that some were originally on steam, yet the people who use Epic buy Fortnite skins.

          5. And what is the wrong that does Valve? They don’t release games? Yeah. Sucks. But the gaming world is much bigger than Valve’s games. Believe it or not, i love HL2, CS GO, TF, L4D, etc, but i also love games made by other developers more. Valve not releasing games is the least of my problem when i have a fully library of games that i haven’t even played yet. As long as they keep up with the great updates, events, and sales, i’m happy. Plus, if Valve won’t do the games, the community will.

          6. Valve pioneered a lot of rubish pratices like cosmetics and unfinished games. They only “saved PC gaming” because they where the first to see the potential, if it was not Valve, another company would show up.

          7. Yes, and people buy them, with their money. It’s their choice. Valve don’t grab money from people’s pockets. If you are dumb enough to buy those, then it’s your problem. Not mine. (not actually talking about you)
            You can play CS GO, and TF2 without spending even one penny on cosmetics.

          8. And valve could invest some of their billions on interesting projects like they used to… It’s their choice to be mediocre after all.

          9. They could. But as i said, they are too busy to count money. Not mediocre. Stupid. People who use microtransactions are stupid. No matter the game, or platform.

          11. I don’t make any excuse. I just don’t give a crap about what people spend their money on. As i said, steam is much bigger than Valve’s games. I’m stupid for playing my games and not caring about what others do… ok bud.

          13. What? That i said that i don’t want my favorite franchise being ruined with a third game that won’t live up to fans expectations? That’s not an excuse.

          14. Yes it is, and a pretty bad excuse. It’s not a matter of faith or anything like that, it’s best to try and fail than to not try at all, ever heard of that?

          15. I heard. But it’s not like the Half Life community is the most “understanding” out there. Hell, they threatened the guy who made HL2 Cinematic mod. Only for making Alyx looks like a $lut. And that was a mod only.

          16. You just won’t stop making dumb excuses will you? Poor billionaires over at valve must be pi$$ing themselves over the toughts of mad fans and internet dead threats…

          17. It doesn’t matter. People made their voice heard about Artifact. So will about HL3. The fans are crazy enough that they will start boycotting Steam. Not that they can, but i think Valve just doesn’t want to take the risk. And they will keep saying “we can’t talk nothing about HL3”.

          18. I know quite well why Valve won’t take risks. In fact, i’m talking with one of the reasons right now…

      1. Jesus. Two of your penis tickles on here ? lmao. Fanboy that store, nerd. Fanboy it hard. I can’t imagine a life so pathetic, so sad, that you fanboy a digital game store.

        Best part of you ran down your mommas leg.

        1. Jesus indeed. You bots really need to learn more from dictionary. Papa Timmy is too busy sucking the chinese boss from Tencent? Don’t worry, i’m sure you will know more words than “fanboy” in no time.

  15. Why is Batman: Arkham Origins missing? I could understand if it was just the Rocksteady games but they are offering the Traveler’s Tales Lego Batman games., too.

    Reply

    1. Overcooked still has bugs that limits the game on EPIC EXCLUSIVELY! If it wasn’t for steam community they would not know about it.
      Gotta love EPIC! Hahahahaha!

  17. I feel kinda bad for EPIC Games, i have 40 free games there but as soon as EPIC goes out of business i will miss them, well, if after so much time they can’t up their game, NATURAL SELECTION…

    Reply

      1. Sure, kid. Sure. lol. Keep dreaming. When EGS will put Steam out of business, then it means that pc gaming will die. So that will never happen. EGS, on the other hand will die once Fortnite will stop being relevant. That game already is dying. I already pay the devs, you dim wit. How much are they getting payed it’s not my problem.

  21. I already have all the arkham games and finished them all on steam.

    I dont really care about the lego games… So nice try epic but no thanks.

    As for metro 2033 redux ive got already the original one so even next week is nothing interesting.

        2. The f**k are you talking about? How is this fanboyism? The fact that i actually like to buy my games on the store that offers me the most benefits? It’s not like i $hitted on you for taking those free games. lol.

          Reply

          1. A better question is “how is this NOT fanboyism”? Shilling for free is the definition of fanboyism.

          2. Uh huh. Aight. Can’t f**k with your stupid logic. So lemme get this straight, using steam and buying games from steam makes me a fanboy, right? Well then, i’m a fking proud to be.

          3. Thanks for admitting, but it’s not because you like Steam, it’s more about how you go out of your way to display your “Steam Cred” and trash the competing stores that makes you a raging fanboy.

            Wasn’t you in another story that commented how good it feels to see a game you are not even interested in with a Steam logo? That’s typical fanboy behaviour, and one of the reasons companies like Steam will not try to improve.

          5. People can shop at stores and still be critical of them you know? What this Alin fellow do is praise Steam at every opportunity, and make excuses or ignore bad decisions by Steam(by blaming the “community” i.e himself). Sure, totally not a fanboy.

          6. Oh my god, are you really that stupid, my guy? What i meant with “i like to see Steam’s logo on games” is that i’m glad that another games goes on Steam. Even though i’m not interested in it, maybe in the future i will try it, and buy it. Also, the only reason i “admited” is because you wouldn’t shut up about it, and keep calling me fanboy over and over, like that’s your only argument. By your logic, me using steam means that i’m a fanboy. Also, i don’t trash on competition. I use Uplay, and Origin, and GOG. Those are actually decent. Only trash the trash. Ahem, Epic. Sorry. Steam does improve. As a customer, i’m glad they finally updated the library.

          7. They would improve more if guys like you shut up. Seriously, you are not helping with your hardcore shilling. If you treated Steam like you treat Epic, maybe they could improve more or god forbid, go back to making decent games like they used to

          8. Why would i treat Steam like epic? lol. They haven’t done anything wrong to me. So why would i trash them like the epic trash store? Doesn’t make any sense. I honestly don’t have anything i would want to be improved. Especially with the new library overhaul.

          9. Then shut up about it, making the company complacent and lazy because you are such a satisfied consumer (while others could have valid complaints) will just make them lazy like they already are with the gaming dev department.

          11. Another typical fanboy behaviour is not understanding when he is being counterproductive to his pet cause…

          14. I got your point. Only that it doesn’t have any relevance whatsoever. Mostly because it’s an opinion, that you keep repeating.

          15. It’s almost depresses me. Fanboys for a digital game store. I can see these losers now. Steam merch. Gabe’s fat a*s on their shirts.

            What scares me the most is they can vote and drive cars.

        3. The fck are you talking about? How is this fanboyism? The fact that i actually like to buy my games on the store that offers me the most benefits? It’s not like i shi*ted on your for taking those free games. lol.

        1. Damn. That’s a nice collection. Never liked Arkham Knight. Story is decent, but the performance is very poor. Also those annoying tank missions.

          Reply

      1. Because they actually are user and customer friendly. They also just updated the library. It looks so fking great. In my book, Steam deserves those extra money, because they have all that basic features that any store in 2019 should have (epic doesn’t have even half). Steam offered my great sales, deals, events, and support when my accout was hacked. Plus, recently, they update steam beta more often recently. And the “competition” doesn’t even have a shopping cart, meanwhile, steam adds even more great features in the update.

          1. Steam gives 100% of the revenue to the developer through the use of game keys. That’s beating the competition by a mile.

          5. Ok r3tard. The store that doesn’t have a shopping cart is better. Mhm. Sure. And until epic came out the devs weren’t getting payed? Please, stop talking. You’re stupid.

    1. Of course Epic is only used by broke kids who can’t afford to buy a game even 50% off, let alone full price. Who cares about games when you have them quality fortnite skins.

        1. Any word besides “fanboy” do you know? And no, i don’t hate on another company for giving free games, i hate on the company that isn’t even 30% as good as Steam, yet, they claim they will save the PC gaming.

          Reply

          3. Funny that, when i see hard shilling for companies, i also assume bad faith in some form (paid shills, bots, etc)

          4. Oh, but i don’t shill, my friend. I only like buying my games from the best platform on PC. Shilling for Steam is useless, since almost everyone who plays on PC knows that Steam it’s best place for PC gamers.

          5. Beyond parody how you deny shilling while shilling at the same time… Stop commenting about Steam superiority if it is so obvious, why are you even mad at another store?

          6. Why should i stop commenting? I just said that i’m glad i own those games on steam, and that epic can go fck themselves along their free stuff. And how i’m i mad? I only like making fun of bots and the fact that a store that doesn’t have basic features in 2019 wants to be the comeptition of the biggest gaming store. It’s laughable.

          7. Sure dude, Epic is laughable, so what’s there more to say?

            “And how i’m i mad?”

            What about this: “epic can go fck themselves along their free stuff.”

          8. Nothing. But i just like to point out the facts.

            I don’t see how saying that i don’t need their free games (that i already own) makes me mad, but ok.

      3. You are so pathetic. How do you look in a mirror when you fanboy a digital game store. Lol, God. That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard of honestly.

        Reply

        1. If something on the internet is the saddest thing you’ve heard, then you really don’t have much going on in your life. Plus, calling me a fanboy isn’t an argument. Cry more.

  29. The only thing that Epic is really good for. No reason to spend money on there unless you want to buy some skins in Fortnite. Haha

      1. Spending money + EGS = only for drones

        Free games + EGS = still not worth spending money

        Waiting for a game + Steam + No Epic = Best idea

  30. Isn’t the only Batman game with multiplayer the Batman: Arkham Origins? That game is not listed, and since that one multiplayer is probably dead, it’s just a choice in wheter to aquire these games on Epic or warez sites…

  31. They could have done this from the beginning instead of their sh*tty exclusive deals, they could have dodged all the hate they got but they didn’t. still not going to install their s**t client and already have all these old games.

    Reply

      1. Doesn’t matter, give free games, advertise and bring people in instead of making enemies by removing games from other platforms and making it exclusive to your own.

        Reply

    2. No,they wouldn’t dodge the hate because we don’t want another useless launcher that has some many vulnerabilites that even a kid who recently got into IT could crack. But people are sheep, they see few of AAA games being given away and they immediately forget everything they stand for. I feel like I’m only one who won’t put up this Epic nonsense. It’s really sad actually.

      Reply

      2. Hey, i don’t like them either, I only have Steam and GOG and that is more than enough for me, hell EGS won’t even support my region so i can’t even download the launcher let alone buy sh*t from these scums.

        But if they wanted to compete and not being a*ses they would have dropped the exclusive s*it and updated their client to address people’s concerns then these free games could have helped them to grow. Now they are desprate since Valve don’t even respond to their s*it, they know if they add more features they will lose more money, they might actually abandon the whole thing, which is a good thing in my book but all of this could have been avoided if they weren’t so unfair and hostile.

        Reply

    3. Yup! If they had invested money in giving away free games instead of the BS exclusivity, they really would’ve earned some respect!

    1. this was definitely a drop in the bucket for epic.
      the return that epic received on the consoles for these games is way more than enough. Asylum alone was sold twice on consoles and then remastered.

      Reply

    2. That doesn’t make any sense. Because Epic doesn’t own these games. Therefore it cost them to “give them away”. What the hell are you even talking about.

      1. Epic collects a 5% royalty fee for all of their engines.
        been that way since 2008. (see line “5. Royalty”)
        https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/eula

        “You agree to pay Epic a royalty equal to 5% of all worldwide gross revenue actually attributable to each Product, regardless of whether that revenue is received by you or any other person or legal entity, as follows:

        a. Gross revenue resulting from any and all sales of a Product to end users through any and all media, including but not limited to digital and retail;
        b. Gross revenue resulting from any and all in-app purchases, downloadable content, microtransactions, subscriptions, sale, transfer, or exchange of “

  34. this is a pretty awesome offer if you’re someone that doesn’t have the games already (can’t speak for the lego ones) but Rocksteady’s Batman trilogy is one of the best trilogies around, even with the extraneous nonsense in Arkham Knight, at its core it was still the same batman mechanics of the other games, it was just diluted compared to the others with joyless tank battles.
