Episode One of 'Batman - The Telltale Series' is now available for free on iOS following a performance update.

The first chapter in the acclaimed episodic point-and-click adventure game - from Telltale Games, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and DC Entertainment - can be downloaded without cost to Apple device users and will remain free on the App Store following an update on Tuesday (05.09.17) that provides significant technical improvements and should ensure the series runs smoothly on a broader range of iPhones and iPads.

In the series' opening episode, entitled 'Realm of Shadows,' Bruce Wayne discovers his father was in fact in cahoots with a ruthless crime boss, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about his identity. As both Bruce and Batman, players must negotiate harsh political realities and prevent Gotham City from descending into chaos while digging into the truth about the Wayne family's alleged sordid past. The decisions players make across the game then optionally carry over into the ongoing second season, 'Batman: The Enemy Within' of which Episode One 'The Enigma' is now available to buy for Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
