While a new free game will be available on the Epic Games Store this afternoon, the identity of its successor has already been revealed in advance.
After weeks of celebrations, the Epic Games Store Advent Calendar officially ends this afternoon. The event ended with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, a lovely surprise that waited patiently for a week for users of the platform to come and claim it. But all good things must come to an end and the store is preparing to return to its usual rhythm. No more free games every day with great productions on offer, we return to one or two titles offered every week with a focus on independent games. A new free Epic Games Store game is now available.
What is the next free Epic Games Store game?
Return to normality starting this Thursday, January 11th. For more than two weeks, the Fortnite Creator Store kept things going by offering an amazing gift every day, with the exception of Saints Row, which is clearly the most divided. It’s time for the Epic Games Store to resume its usual rhythm, because despite the publisher’s numerous economic layoffs, it wants to offer free games every week again this year. First up is Sail Forth, a small independent production with a cute character. Cast off and experience a grand adventure on a mystical ocean spread across dozens of regions and countless islands populated by fauna, flora, friendly people and, of course, enemies.
Here the goal is to navigate between the different areas where each island is randomly generated and where various activities await you. This ranges from photo safaris to fishing and racing with dolphins. A crafting dimension is also included, with a whole host of resources you can collect to improve your ship and unlock new technologies. A cool little free Epic Games Store game created by a single developer available for pickup at 5:00 p.m. sharp from January 11th to 18th, 2024.
The next gift is already known
There was no need to wait until the afternoon to find his successor, it was now official. The gift offered on the Epic Games Store from January 18th to 25th, 2024 is indeed LOVE. A minimalist indie platformer with a distinctly retro aesthetic. A challenging title with a custom respawn system for those who need a boost, 16 different levels, a competitive scoreboard and even the ability to create your own levels or play community-designed levels. A simple, fast and effective title that has convinced those who bought it. The title has a good rating of 9/10 on Steam with almost 1000 reviews, which is still remarkable for a production of this caliber.
