Get ready to don the cowl and take on Gotham in virtual reality! The highly anticipated Batman: Arkham Shadow is a VR-only title, and it’s coming to Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S with a special offer. Purchase either of these headsets and you’ll receive a free copy of Arkham Shadow.
But wait, there’s more! If you pre-order the Meta Quest 3S headset, which is available for $300 and begins shipping on October 15th, you’ll also get three months of Meta Quest+. You can, of course, still purchase Arkham Shadow separately through the Meta Quest store for $50. However, if you’re planning on getting a new headset, hold off on buying the game just yet!
The free Arkham Shadow offer is valid from September 25th (today) to April 30th, 2025. Even if you buy your headset later within this window, you’ll still be able to claim your free copy. Just make sure your headset is activated before the game’s launch on October 22nd.
Arkham Shadow, developed by Camouflaj (creators of Iron Man VR) in collaboration with Oculus Studios, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC, and veterans from Rocksteady, is a prequel to the beloved Arkham series. This time, you’ll be stepping into the shoes of a young Batman as he confronts the notorious Rat King in a thrilling, immersive VR experience.
The game promises to deliver a powerful, first-person perspective on the classic Arkham combat system, with knockout action and a familiar cast of characters. Expect to see familiar faces like Harvey Dent, Dr. Harleen Quinzel (before her transformation into Harley Quinn), Jim Gordon, Barbara Gordon, and others.
Arkham Shadow marks the first DC game release following Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which received mixed reviews and struggled commercially. However, Arkham Shadow promises to be a compelling and exciting addition to the Batman VR universe, offering a fresh take on the Caped Crusader’s story and a unique VR experience. Get ready to become the Batman and immerse yourself in Gotham City like never before!
