The excitement continues to build for fans of the Epic Games Store as they prepare for the reveal of the 12th free game in their holiday giveaway lineup. At 16:00 UTC, the store will unveil the new title following the current free offering, Kill Knight. Intriguingly, the well-known Reddit leaker MeguminShiro, who has a reputation for accurate predictions, has hinted that this next game will not be a brand-new addition but a repeat from previous giveaways. While MeguminShiro abstained from giving more clues this time, there’s plenty of past data to delve into.
In recent years, Epic Games Store has traditionally tapped into its indie catalog for this year-end event. On December 29th of previous years, the games gifted included Snakebird Complete in 2023, Dishonored Definitive Edition and Eximius in 2022, Salt and Sanctuary in 2021, Solitairica in 2020, and The Talos Principle in 2019. Fans of indie games are particularly hopeful, given the store’s track record.
The popular YouTube channel Should You Play It? has also weighed in, echoing the prediction that the new free game might once again be an indie title, aligning with the latest hints. Despite the prevalent expectation of an indie repeat, there remains a chance that Epic Games Store could surprise players with something from a different genre altogether.
Remember to check in today and grab the 12th gift, which just might be a favorite from years past or an undiscovered indie gem. As always, the Epic Games Store is keeping things interesting during this season of giving, potentially attracting both longstanding fans and newcomers alike.
