BioShock: The Collection is free in the Epic Games Store right now

The next big free game in the Epic Games Store has been revealed today.

BioShock: The Collection will be available to download for free from now until June 2 at 11 a.m. EST/ 8 a.m PST. Released in 2016, BioShock: The Collection delivers the beloved BioShock trilogy (BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite) with higher textures and previously released DLC.

Earlier this year, Netflix announced plans to unveil a BioShock film. A film was originally announced back in 2008 with Universal Studios. Unfortunately, the film, which was slated to have Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring) as a director, was cancelled. BioShock creator Ken Levine said this about the film’s cancellation back in 2013 at a BAFTA talk (courtesy of EuroGamer):

"Watchmen came out, and it didn't do well for whatever reason. The studio then got cold feet about making an R rated $200 million film, and they said what if it was a $80 million film - and Gore didn't want to make a $80 million film.

They brought another director in, and I didn't really see the match there - and 2K's one of these companies that puts a lot of creative trust in people. So they said if you want to kill it, kill it. And I killed it."
