Over on the Epic Games Store, there’s some exciting news for players: Orcs Must Die! 3 is up for grabs at no cost, but don’t wait too long. This free offer is part of Epic’s holiday mystery game promotion and won’t last past Monday, December 30, at 10:00 am CST. So if you’re keen to add it to your collection, now’s your chance.
Throughout December, Epic Games Store has been quite generous, gifting a variety of games. Just yesterday, players were able to snag Kill Knight, a fresh isometric shooter that debuted earlier this year. The lineup has been impressively diverse, featuring games like Control, Ghostrunner 2, and Dredge. This promotion has something for everyone, which is great news for any gamer looking to expand their library on the platform. Interestingly, none of the games offered thus far, except for Control, have been repeat giveaways from Epic.
Currently, Orcs Must Die! 3 is available for free download on the Epic Games Store. Originally launched in 2020 to generally favorable reviews, it boasts a Top Critic Average of 77 according to OpenCritic scores. Though the base game is what’s free, if you’re interested in its expansions, they’re conveniently available at a 50% discount. However, keep in mind the clock is ticking; the offer ends on Monday, December 30, at 10:00 am CST.
Looking ahead, the Epic Games Store has promised four more free games as part of this year’s holiday promotion. The final game is expected to be announced on January 2, staying available for an entire week. Once this promotion concludes, Epic will likely return to its routine of offering one free game per week for players to enjoy.
For those who have been following Epic’s giveaways this year, you might recall that Orcs Must Die! 3 was also free back in May, making it another instance alongside Control where Epic has repeated a giveaway. While this may not thrill everyone, especially long-time users who already snagged it, new users on the platform are sure to appreciate the chance to fetch this game without spending a dime.
If you’re curious about what’s been on offer in the 2024 mystery games list, here’s a quick rundown: We’ve seen titles like The Lord of the Rings Return to Moria starting December 12, Vampire Survivors on the 19th, followed by Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, TerraTech, and others. Each of these offerings highlights the diverse range on EGS, ensuring there’s something for everyone as the year wraps up.
