This week’s free Epic Games Store title has been announced
The latest free Epic Games Store title has been released.
Confirming an earlier leak, Chivalry 2 is now free to download from Epic’s PC marketplace until June 6.
“Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer first person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles,” according to its Epic Games Store listing.
“Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era – from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, to sprawling castle sieges and more.”
The PC version of the game, which was developed by Torn Banner Studios and published in 2021 by Tripwire Interactive, is normally priced at $39.99 / £35.99 and has a score of 82 on review aggregation site Metacritic.
Rather than revealing upcoming giveaways a week in advance like it normally does, Epic is currently giving away “mystery” games over the course of the Epic Games Store Mega Sale.
The promotion, which is running for four weeks until June 13, kicked off with Dragon Age Inquisition, which was followed by Farming Simulator 22.
The Epic Games Store had over 270 million customers in 2023, and 75 million monthly active users last December, according to Epic.
Players spent $950 million on the Epic Games Store last year, including $310 million on third-party PC games.
The Epic Games Store gave away 86 free titles in 2023 (down from 99 in 2022). These games had a combined worth of $2,055, and users claimed nearly 586 million free titles (down from 700 million in 2022).
