We've seen a lot of information about the Epic Games Store's Holiday Sale giveaway this year, and much of it has been correct. You can find our reports on past daily giveaway leaks below (except for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria), along with their official announcements:
New Clue Emerges
A fresh hint has come to light, thanks to a trusted leaker known for accurately guessing the titles mentioned earlier using emojis. You can check out the new clue (as well as previous ones) for yourself:
Based on the abbreviation and the emojis in the hint, it looks like the next free game is Dark and Darker - Legendary Status. We came to this conclusion from the abbreviation "D.D. - L.S." and the emojis shared by the leaker. The emojis feature swords, bows, torches, bags of gold, and flags—each suggesting Dark and Darker - Legendary Status, which is a dungeon-crawling roguelike with PvPvE elements. The clue also includes stock emojis that go up and down, which clearly points to the in-game marketplace where players can buy and sell items found in dungeons (since there are no set vendor prices). This fits with the leaker’s track record of correct predictions and the game's themes of treasure hunting and survival in dark places.
Game Features and Development
Developed by Ironmace, Dark and Darker gives players a distinctive multiplayer experience where teams venture into perilous dungeons filled with traps, monsters, and other adventurers. The game follows a free-to-play model, enhanced by the Legendary Status DLC (which further supports the leaker's hint), adding features like high-level dungeons, extra character slots, and trading options.
To play Dark and Darker without issues, you’ll need at least a 3.0 GHz Quad-Core CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 1060 (3GB) or Radeon RX 580 (4GB) GPU. For the best performance, it’s recommended to have a 3.6 GHz Quad-Core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a GeForce RTX series card or Radeon RX 5600. The game also requires 15 GB of space on your storage.
Anticipation for the Upcoming Release
Considering the leaker's reliable predictions, it's very probable that Dark and Darker will be the next free game announced in the Epic Games Store’s Holiday Sale giveaway on December 23. Fans of atmospheric dungeon crawlers and roguelikes should definitely watch for this official announcement.
