TheEpic Games Storefree mystery game for Saturday, December 24 is none other thanMetro: Last Light Redux. For over a week now, theEpic Games Storehas been giving users free games to add to their digital libraries. Things started off withBloons TD 6, while yesterday’s free game was a tactical sci-fi RPG calledEncasedthat takes inspiration from old-schoolFalloutgames.
The way theEpic Games Store free mystery gameswork is that they are only available for users to claim within a 24-hour period. Each day at 10:00am CT, the latest free mystery game is removed and replaced by the next day’s offering. Unlike the Epic Games Store free weekly games, gamers aren’t given advanced notice of what the free game will be. However, the wrapping paper graphics that Epic Games Store uses during these promotions hint at what fans can expect.
