Leaker chatter fuels speculation over first Epic Games Store holiday mystery free game

Epic Games Store has confirmed that its special giveaway event is back for the holiday season 2025. However, unlike last time, the storefront didn't share any obvious clues that might reveal what the first free game of the event could be. MeguminShiro, a credible leaker, didn't offer any concrete information about the first freebie either, but the tipster did share what it could be.

MeguminShiro says that the leakster has been "hearing" that the first free mystery game will be Lords of the Fallen (worth $29.99). This information doesn't come with the leaker's complete confidence, but it does somewhat match what Epic Games Store has seemingly hinted at in the teaser photo.

As we noted in our last coverage, the teaser photo for the first mystery free game has the The Game Awards logo. This logo placement could simply be because the reveal is set on the same day as the awards show, or it could be hinting at the possible freebie. Taking a closer look, Lords of the Fallen had its first gameplay teaser reveal at The Game Awards 2022, so there's at least some connection.

Other guesses from Redditors are all over the place. Some are suggesting that the colors of the teaser photo are a clue, which could point to games like Journey to the Savage Planet and No Man's Sky.

Regardless of what it may be, the good part is that the reveal isn't that far away from now. For those who missed the announcement, the first mystery free game for the holiday season 2025 will be revealed on December 11, at 8:00 PM ET or 1:00 AM UTC.
