Epic Games Store Unveils 11th Free Mystery Game

Epic Games Store enthusiasts are in for a treat as they can snag Kill Knight without spending a dime, albeit for a short while. This promotion is part of the latest mystery game giveaway by Epic Games, which has already gifted players 11 games up to this point. And guess what? There’s even more to come!

Right now, it looks like the Epic Games Store has lined up at least five additional mystery games for this current wave of promotions. Starting on December 29 and continuing through to January 2, a new game is expected to be unveiled daily. The final game in this series will be available for an entire week. After that, it seems likely that the store will revert to its regular weekly giveaways. However, the surprise element will be no more.

The future of Epic Games Store’s offerings for 2024’s final mystery picks, as well as what lies ahead in 2025, remains to be seen. For the moment, gamers can add Kill Knight to their collections at no cost. Released just this past October, Kill Knight claims the title of the newest freebie in this mystery giveaway batch. It’s a thrilling twin-stick shooter that earned an overall score of 83 on OpenCritic, garnering mostly positive reviews. Make sure you grab it before it vanishes on Sunday, December 29, at 10:00 am CST.

Let’s quickly run through the list of the 2024 mystery games from the Epic Games Store:

– The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (December 12 to December 19)
– Vampire Survivors (December 19)
– Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles (December 20)
– TerraTech (December 21)
– Wizard of Legend (December 22)
– Dark and Darker – Legendary Status (December 23)
– Dredge (December 24)
– Control (December 25)
– Ghostrunner 2 (December 26)
– Hot Wheels Unleashed (December 27)
– Kill Knight (December 28)
– ??? (December 29)
– ??? (December 30)
– ??? (December 31)
– ??? (January 1)
– ??? (January 2 to January 9)

Kill Knight stands out as a notable entry due to its recent release and high scores. It’s likely to impress Epic Games Store fans, especially those disappointed by some of the previous offerings. For instance, Control was given away on Christmas Day, and while it’s a fantastic title, it’s been offered for free before. Newcomers were probably thrilled, but longtime users might have hoped for something different. Nevertheless, there’s still more to look forward to as the promotion marches on, so keep your eyes peeled for upcoming releases.
