The holidays are here, and theEpic Games Storefree mystery game promotion is well underway with it revealing the third game for this year. As many may recall from past years, this event sees theEpic Games Storegive away a game every day, rotating them out at 10 am CT, instead of its weekly Thursday pattern.
So far, theEpic Games Store has given outBloons TD6—a tower defense game—as well asHorizon Chase Turbo, an arcade racing game. This free mystery game has given away big-budget, AAA games in the past, so many may be confused about the start so far this year. It remains to be seen what else is added, but available from December 17 to December 18 at 10 am CT is the third free mystery game.

The latest addition to theEpic Games Store free mystery game promotionisCostume Quest 2. It is a fun, casual RPG where trick-or-treaters must face off with dental soldiers, complete with time-traversing landscapes, new costumes, and treat cards for combat. It’s a fun, simple little adventure, if a little late for the Halloween season.
Of course, EGS doesn’t confirm what the next game will be, but looking at the wrapping paper provides some hints. There appears to be a Viking helmet, and keeping up with the size and theme of past games, it could beTribes of Midgard. That’s hard to say for sure, but either way, fans don’t have a long wait.
Epic Games Store Free Mystery Game for December 17
One of the biggest questions right now is how long the Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion will last. It’s hard to say, since there has been no official announcement, but the service has given out somewhere between 12-15 games in the past. It seems safe enough to expect that again, but whether it’s late this December or sometime in early January, fans can expect theEpic Games Store to return to its weekly giveawaysas soon as this special holiday promotion is concluded.
