Epic Games has moved its free game giveaway program onto a new set of titles. Now consisting of Death's Gambit: Afterlife and a $25 add-on for World of Warships, the storefront gave away CYGNI: All Guns Blazing and Apex Legends-related content last week.

Epic Games has switched up its weekly game giveaway, which is available for anyone with an Epic Games account. To recap, the storefront has been providing CYGNI: All Guns Blazing and Conduit Unlock Bundle for Apex Legends throughout last week and until earlier today. While the former is a new title, this week's giveaway centres on a game that came out a few years ago.

As such, it has relatively low system requirements. Specifically, developer White Rabbit recommends using the following hardware to run Death's Gambit: Afterlife:

  • Processor: Intel Core i3 or higher
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6670/NVIDIA GeForce GT 520
  • Storage: 1 GB

Generally available for $19.99, the 2D platformer is also described by its developer as featuring 'deep RPG elements', which has helped it earn an average of 81/100 on Metacritic. Incidentally, the PC version has achieved the game's highest Metacritic average of its multi-platform release.

On top of that, Epic Games has also decided to giveaway a World of Warships add-on that typically sells for $25. Described as the Albany Starter Pack, the add-on included a port slot, an American Tier II Premium cruiser Albany, a Port slot and an opportunity to claim a second ship by completing a short mission.

Please note that this week's giveaway content is available to register for free against an Epic Games account until 15:00 UTC on August 22. Additionally, the full content for the Albany Starter Pack is as follows:
