Leaker unveils next Epic Games Store free game giveaways before official announcement
Epic Games has only just updated its weekly free game giveaway, which it refreshed on Thursday. For context, the storefront swapped one title that retails for $19.99 for another, full details of which we have covered separately. As is often the case, it has already detailed its plans for next week's giveaway, which will go live at 15:00 UTC on July 18.
However, leaker @billbil_kun once again beat Epic Games to the punch. Specifically, the X (formerly Twitter) account revealed that the storefront intended the discount Arcade Paradise from $19.99 to $0.00, which it describes as a '90's-fuelled retro arcade adventure' with:
Over 35 arcade games, each fully realized with its own gameplay, stories, missions and high scores to set! Inspired by 3 decades of gaming, from early vector games right up to the 32-bit era.
Additionally, the game supports up to four-player gameplay through local multiplayer and cooperative modes, which has helped it average over 70/100 by critics. Next week's giveaway does not end with Arcade Paradise, though. Instead, Epic Games also announced that it would be giving away Maid of Sker, another Windows-only game that Wales Interactive initially released in mid-2020. Typically available for $24.99, Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror game set in the late 1800s. Please see Epic Games Store's listings via the links below for more information.
