The Callisto Protocol And Gigantic Are This Week’s Epic Games Store Freebies

31

The Epic Games Store continues to give away a free game each week, and this week is another nice find with a price that can’t be beaten. Every Thursday at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, Epic offers at least one free PC game (and sometimes even as many as two or three). All you need to do to claim the free games is create a free Epic account and enable two-factor authentication. You have a week to add the freebies to your library before the new one(s) take their place. At this point, Epic has given away hundreds of free games, and there’s no sign that the program will stop any time soon. We keep this article up to date weekly to highlight both the current free games and next week’s offerings.

Current free games at Epic

Gigantic and The Callisto Protocol

This week, you can grab The Callisto Protocol and Gigantic: Rampage Edition for free on the Epic Games Store. The debut game of Striking Distance Studio, The Callisto Protocol is a gory and gruesome spiritual successor to Dead Space, although the game received mixed reviews at the time. In the months after release, several substantial patches fine-tuned the gameplay, and story-based DLC in the form of The Final Transmission was released. Striking Distance also announced this week that a new game set in the same universe, Redacted, will be out on October 31.

MOBA fans can check out Gigantic: Rampage Edition this week–a colorful game with competitive action and hero-shooter influences. There’s a diverse roster of characters to choose from, upgradeable abilities, and plenty of maps. This version of the game upgrades the experience with cross-platform play, new heroes, more maps, and gameplay improvements.

Next free games at Epic

Wild Card Football and Fallout

Next week, you can pick up Fallout: Classic Collection and Wild Card Football for free from the Epic Games Store. Fallout: Classic Collection gives you three old-school games to check out–Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel–in all their old-school glory.

Wild Card Football is an arcade-style football game featuring 7v7 team-focused gameplay, as well as optimized rules, customizable teams and outfits, and even several real-life pro players in its roster.


Epic Games Store free games list

We’re keeping a running list of every free game that Epic users have been able to claim in the past. From AAA hits to indie darlings, Epic has really made its mark with free games. You can even snag these games if you don’t have a powerful PC so you can play them if you ever get one. Look at the list below to see the frankly ridiculous list of free games that have been available.

MOBA fans can check out Gigantic: Rampage Edition next week, a colorful game with competitive action and hero-shooter influences.
