Epic Games Store reveals award-winning Metroidvania game as late-April 2026 freebie
Epic Games has just started discounting The Stone of Madness on PC. Typically sold for $29.99, this week's giveaway will remain free to claim until 16:00 GMT on April 23. In the meantime, the storefront has already confirmed what it has next in store for its free games program.
After that award-winning stealth game returns to its MSRP, Epic Games will pivot to a 2D action Metroidvania. Released in 2023, Doomblade currently costs $14.99 on Epic Games. However, the game frequently receives steep discounts on Steam. For instance, the game reached $3.99 in mid-March, which is its lowest recorded price to date.
Setting that aside, Doomblade maintains Very Positive reviews on Steam and an 83/100 Metascore on Metacritic. Similarly, the game has achieved a 76/100 User Score. Also, the game is compatible with Xbox controllers like the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless (curr. $59.99 on Amazon).
Incidentally, Doomblade was awarded 3rd place three years ago in The Game Development Championship's 'Action' category. Doomblade will be available to claim from the Epic Games Store between April 23 and April 30 at 16:00 GMT. Please see Epic Games' store listing plus the videos above and below for more details.
