Fallout and Fallout 2 Free on Epic Games Store Next Week
16.02.2024 - 16:47 / ign.com / Ryan Dinsdale
A handful of classic Fallout games, including the beloved Fallout 2, are free to download and own forever via the Epic Games Store from February 22 for a week.
As reported by VGC, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel will be available from February 22 to 29 to anyone with an Epic Games account. Players just need to log in to the store and visit the individual game pages to claim them, granting access to them forever.
The original Fallout, not developed by current franchise owner Bethesda but Interplay Productions, launched in 1997 and laid the groundwork for what would become one of gaming's most iconic franchises.
Players would explore a wasteland littered with wild and wacky characters and engage in turn-based role-playing combat to defeat all manner of mutants.
Fallout 2 is perhaps the most beloved of the pre-Bethesda games, offering a similar game to the original but improving systems across the board. "With its great storyline, huge game world, and well written scripts, Fallout 2 gave [us] many, many hours of totally absorbing gameplay," IGN said in our review.
Finally, Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel takes that beloved world and applies tactical, squad-based combat. "Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel does just about everything right. The only problem is that there's too much of it," we said in our review.
