Epic Games Store has revealed the penultimate mystery free game for the year 2025. As the hint suggested, this second-to-last giveaway for the year is indeed Trine. More specifically, it's the Classic Collection.

The penultimate free game for the year 2025 is now live, and as Epic Games Store has teased, it's indeed Trine, but what wasn't fully hinted at is which entry of the series it will be. As the storefront has just revealed, it's the Classic Collection.

Just like the last free games, this giveaway will be available for a very limited time. To be precise, it will be available until December 31, 2025, expiring at UTC 16:00.

For those interested to learn more, the Classic Collection bundles four Trine games, and they are relatively well-rated titles from the acclaimed series. More specifically, it's the Trine: Enhanced Edition, Trine 2: Complete Story, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, and Trine 4: Definitive Edition. All four titles fall in the puzzle platforming category, and they offer fun-filled gameplay with three heroes.

Another notable aspect of the games within the current Epic Games Store giveaway is that they offer both single-player and three-player co-op experiences. The hand-drawn environments are also praised by the players who have tried the collection, and the detailed nature of the worlds is another big strength.

Given that there are four free games within this bundle, the collection offers a substantial level of content, and the controls are said to be accessible, with all four featuring proper controller support (Manba One curr. $55.99 on Amazon).

Moving to the not-so-good parts, Trine 3 is regarded as a somewhat frustrating entry of the series, as players report it to have awkward controls and frustrating 3D shifts. The older games within this collection can also be a bit less interesting than the others, as they have repetitive enemies and limited combat.

Even so, the three free games in this platformer collection, except for the third iteration, have great overall player ratings, with over 90% positive ratings on Steam. You can learn more about this 14th mystery Epic Games Store giveaway from the video attached below.
