Epic Games has once again been beaten to announcing its next game giveaway. While the company has now done so, @billbil_kun correctly revealed which title will be available for free soon.

Epic Games's latest giveaway is now live, having been refreshed at 15:00 UTC today. For reference, the company is offering nearly $100 worth of content for free this time around. Please see our dedicated article for full coverage of this week's giveaway.

As is often proving the case, @billbil_kun got ahead of Epic Games by announcing the storefront's next free title, which will go live on August 1. Specifically, the leaker claimed that Epic Games planned to offer LumbearJack for free, which FinalBoss Games initially released in 2022. Not only did the storefront duly confirm that this would be the case, but it also confirmed that there would be no additional giveaways next week, as there are this week.

Consequently, next week's giveaway will effectively be worth just $12.99. Incidentally, while the game has not received a physical release, it is available on Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles, too. At any rate, LumbearJack should run on most PCs thanks to its low minimum and recommended system requirements. Please see the table below for further details.

CPU AMD A8-3850 or equivalent
