What's coming in the next couple days?

@DemonAlcohol Just anticipation of what it could be!

Mortal Shell is tomorrow

I'm not sure why the leaker is against leaking Thursday's game surprise. It's the same leaker that leaks the PS+ games every month.

If I had to guess, it's something unexpected. Perhaps a newer release, like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. The PC port of God of War would be awesome, but it's highly unlikely.

It's fun to speculate

I'm guessing/hoping it's Kingdom Hearts. They've been Epic exclusive on PC, at WAY too high a price point. for a while now. If they give the first bundle away, it might spike sales on the rest. And the fact that they haven't been on freebie before might be why the leaker doesn't want to say.

Good guess, I'd be all for the first collection.

Dont forget the free add-on for Mortal Shell today

Didn't realize Mortal Shell was a repeat. The Rotting Christ DLC is new though.

Does anyone have any idea what tomorrow could be? I'm a bit stumped by the hint. Maybe Bayonetta?

Definitely something dishonored, image

That mark on the paper is from dishonored

Hmm good to know. Hopefully it's Dishonored Death of an Outsider. Dishonored has been free in the past, and a GOG copy of Dishonored 2 is currently free on Prime Gaming.

I wonder when Mortal Shell was free in the past - I very rarely miss them and didn't already have MS. Any idea @Frank?

Hm. I didn't have 'Mortal Shell' yet either, despite having never (I thought) missed a freebie.

I didn't have it yet either.

Same, and to my knowledge I have never missed one.

Looks like it was actually included in an Epic Games Humble Bundle back in February. So this is the first time it was free directly through Epic though

Has anyone made sure to redeem every free game since the beginning? If so, I'd like to start a Google doc for fun!

Edit: Found one

I think I've only missed like 1-3 over the years, but have played very few of my large list of them.
Thanks for the list Frank, I think I've seen that page before, wish it was in a better format like a Google Doc or just a huge table for them all.

I went ahead and made one.

I also grouped repeats next to each other. If you notice any repeats I missed, let me know! I'm going to link it in my BIO page on here

Looks like my initial guess was correct. The final game is Dishonored Definitive Edition

Eximius: Seize the Frontline is also free.

Wonder why the guy leaked the earlier games but not Dishonored. While certainly a fine freebie and good game, it's nothing super special.

Perhaps to keep spirits high? If we knew it was Dishonored Definitive Edition, people would have preemptively complained

At least this way we got a couple of days of fun speculation... even if the final giveaway ended up being predictable.

That's an epic list!

Two repeats I noticed in your list:

City of Brass (2019 / 2022)
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (2021 / 2022)

Fixed those two, and added the games revealed for January 5th. I'll try to keep the doc up to date

First Class Trouble sounded familiar, then I realized it's because I have it from PS+ (same with Divine Knockout). I haven't played it but I think it is somewhat similar to Among Us.

I haven't played Epistory (next week's game) yet either, but I just got it last week in a Humble Bundle. It sounds like something I might like.

I was updating my Epic Games Freebie sheet and decided to check to see how many repeating games there was each year.

2020 had 6 repeats from 2019
2021 had 5 repeats from 2019 and 5 from 2020
2022 had 4 repeats from 2019, 5 repeats from 2020, 4 repeats from 2021, and Wolfenstein The New Order strangely repeated itself in the same year.

Based on the 4 repeat increase each year, I estimate this year we will see 18 repeating games from previous years.


Edit: Realized we had 1 more repeat this year... Prey (2017)

Aren't the repeats offset somewhat by the fact that they are doing 2 games (or more) most weeks?

I just want to thank @langev for always updating this thread. My account would be missing all those games that I claim and never play if it wasn't for them.

Yes! Thank you langev! In your honor, I'd like to announce that Figment is free on Steam until 3/9/23:
