The Epic Games Store has updated its free game of the week service with another two titles. Available later today, the deal traces the origins of a historic vampire franchise and also includes a well-regarded indie puzzler.

The Epic Games Store is still giving away Deceive Inc. until later today. Additionally, the storefront will is also providing a new unlock bundle for Apex Legends. However, after 16:00 UTC it will be switching to a new giveaway, early details of which we shared last week.

To recap, Epic Games revealed ahead of time that it would be discounting the Castlevania Anniversary Collection to $0.00, which features the following titles:

  • Castlevania
  • Castlevania II Simon's Quest
  • Castlevania III Dracula's Curse
  • Super Castlevania IV
  • Castlevania The Adventure
  • Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge
  • Castlevania Bloodlines
  • Kid Dracula
  • History of Castlevania - Book of the Crescent Moon (e-book)

In other words, the Castlevania Anniversary Collection spans from the series' inception in 1986 until 1994. With that being said, the collection does not include all Castlevania games released during that period. Unsurprisingly, the Castlevania Anniversary Collection contains relatively low system requirements:

Minimum Recommended
OS version Windows 10 64-bit Windows 11 64-bit
CPU Intel Core i3-4160 or equivalent Intel Core i3-6300 or equivalent
GPU Intel HD Graphics 4400 or equivalent (128 MB VRAM) Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti or equivalent (2 GB VRAM)
RAM 4 GB 4 GB
Storage 800 MB 800 MB

For reference, the Castlevania Anniversary Collection typically retails for $19.99. Moreover, Epic Games has added Snakebird Complete to this week's giveaway, which brings its overall value to almost $35. Awarded glowing reviews when it debuted last year, Snakebird Complete features over 120 puzzles while being compatible with macOS and Windows machines. Please see the Epic Games Store listings linked below for more details.
