Epic Games Store announces next week's giveaway with two free games

Epic Games Store users can currently grab Cardpocalypse for free, along with the Epic Mage Bundle for Albion Online. Both are available to claim until August 27, giving users a limited time to add them to their accounts. At the same time, Epic has already revealed the two new free titles that will replace them on the same day.

The first title is Breathedge, a comedic survival adventure set in space. You play as a man who is transporting his grandfather's ashes to a galactic funeral when his spaceship suddenly crashes, leaving him stranded among wreckage, coffins, and debris. With only an immortal chicken for company, you'll need to explore the remains of the destroyed ship and figure out what happened.

Survival is the main challenge, as you have to deal with dangers such as suffocation, freezing, electrocution, and other bizarre ways to lose your life. You'll collect resources from the wreckage and craft tools, equipment, and various vehicles to help you explore the surrounding area. You can also build and customize your own space station by adding oxygen, electricity, furniture, and other equipment. 

The second game, Rival Stars Horse Racing, offers a very different type of adventure, putting you in charge of a struggling ranch and challenging you to restore your family's legacy. You'll raise horses, manage your stable, improve the ranch, and work toward becoming a successful equestrian.

The game lets you compete in races with realistic animations and commentary, take part in Cross Country jumping events, or simply explore the game's open environments on horseback. There is also an online multiplayer mode and a story campaign with races inspired by real-world locations. You can raise foals with different coats and patterns, use a detailed genetics system to create your ideal bloodline, and design custom horses through the Horse Creator. 

Both games will become available as the next Epic Games Store giveaway starting August 27, and they’ll remain live until September 3.
