Deal | Epic Games Store reveals first mystery free games of May 2026

Epic Games Store has kicked off the May 2026 mystery free game giveaway event, and the first two freebies are now available to claim. These two were hidden under banners before, and the platform had previously shared hints, but almost all guesses were far from what has been revealed.

Among the first two are Sunderfolk, a turn-based RPG built for co-operative play. Each of the players gets to control a character class, and they get to use ability cards in each turn. It has both local and online co-op modes, and it emphasizes party synergy.

The clever tabletop principle adaptation of this Epic Games Store free game is well praised, and the rules are very approachable. However, the campaign is relatively short, and players often point out occasional balance issues. On Steam, it currently has over 1,600 reviews, of which 94% are positive, which is not a bad rating for a 2025 release.

The second giveaway of the first batch is a collection of games

As for the second free game, it's mostly a game collection: Telltale Batman Shadows Edition. It combines Batman: The Telltale Series and Batman: The Enemy Within into one package, and includes two DLCs as well. So, it goes without saying that there's a good amount of content available.

This bundle also adds a new noir-style "Shadows Mode," which gives the game a darker theme, and the remastered textures with hand-recolored visuals make it worth revisiting for those who have already finished the two games.

Regarding the games themselves, Batman - The Telltale Series is known for its strong, character-driven narrative with accessible detective segments. However, the gameplay depth is limited, and it's light on puzzles. Since its 2016 release, it has received over 7,600 reviews on Steam, with 86% of them being positive.

Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series, is darker and is praised for its stronger villain dynamics. The combat is also spicier than the first iteration, but the mechanical variety is still limited. It was released in 2017, and currently, it has over 4,200 reviews on Steam, with 94% of them being positive.

Value-wise, this giveaway is worth $79.95 if the retail value is considered. Epic Games Store will offer the two as free games until May 21, 2026. Check out the videos below to learn more about these two freebies.
