Deal | Epic Games Store reveals widely acclaimed medieval slasher as final free game of 2025

Epic Games Store has formally revealed the final free game of 2025, and just like the official staff member hinted at before, it's a repeat. Now, while some may be disappointed to see a repeated freebie on December 31, the positive aspect is that it's a good one, and many may not have gotten the chance to claim it in May 2024, when it was previously given away.

For those wondering, the final mystery free game for the holiday season is Chivalry 2, and it will be available to claim for a very short time. More specifically, this last giveaway for the year will expire on January 01, 2025, at UTC 16:00.

Developed by Torn Banner Studios, Chivalry 2 is a first-person slasher game that's set in a medieval world. It's a multiplayer-only entry, and it brings support for up to 64-player play, meaning that the battles can get quite chaotic.

Just like its predecessor, the current Epic Games Store free game is praised for its weighty yet rewarding combat. There are directional attacks, and the class abilities add an interesting element to the overall gameplay.

The maps of Chivalry 2 have also been praised by many players, and the objectives can create cinematic mayhem in each round. There are multiple modes as well, including deathmatches and sieges. The progression system is solid as well, and it can keep each match frantic.

While all that sounds great, the current Epic Games Store free game is known for having some unbalanced elements. For example, the archers can have an unfair advantage in some battles. The combat also leans less towards pure skill and somewhat demands muscle memory.

Even so, Chivalry 2 is well-received by most. On Steam, it has an 81% positive rating with over 20 thousand player reviews. There's proper support for controllers (GameSir Super Nova curr. $49.99 on Amazon), and when not on sale, it goes for $39.99.
