Mystery Games Are Free On Epic

Monday, I was very happy about a very Wholesome Snack, and it turns out Clay Murrow won’t be reprising his role as a no-nonsense red bloke with some big guns and a fish friend. On Wednesday, Armored Core VI got new details and a (shocker) reveal that it won’t have Souls-like combat. Also, Gris will continue to release on platforms after I reviewed it upon its original release 4 years ago. Thursday, Tekken 7‘s 5.1.0 patch was released as we move on to Tekken 8.

Before we get into today’s offering on the Epic Games Store, I need to go over how the next three weeks will shake up. Right now we’re out of office and your emails will not be read. I’m away along with the rest of the staff, so I don’t entirely know what is available right now. If you’re reading this early, I know Bloons TD 6 is available and it is a disappointment for setting expectations over the next 15 days. Though if you’re catching this just two hours or days behind its initial posting, I’ve no idea.

In previous years we’ve used Twitter to (sometimes) update you on this, with muggins here having to remember to do so regularly. I honestly don’t know if Elon has set fire to the entire place just yet. Monday he got rid of safety protections, so he’ll probably fire everyone at the office Christmas party for simply pointing out that firing that last guy was likely a bad idea unless he had a replacement. So for 14 days between the 15th and the 29th, you’ll be able to pick up some games announced daily, with the game announced on the 29th running until the 5th of January.

According to a report by GG.deals, the giveaways and sales during this time will include cosmetics for live service titles. Sadly, the initial game being a tower defense title doesn’t inspire the first bit of excitement. There are rumors on Reddit suggesting that the 16th is Horizon Chase Turbo, again. Oh, how bored I am of this year’s sale and free offerings already.
