The Epic Games Store has just begun its first giveaway for PC gamers this festive season. The highly anticipated title, Hogwarts Legacy (curr. $32 on Amazon), is not what many fans expected to kick off the Holiday Sale. Interestingly, this week’s PC giveaway is different from what is offered on Android and iOS, which we have detailed in another article.
Mystery Game Announcement
Epic Games has hinted that a new Mystery Game will be revealed on December 8 at 16:00 UTC. It’s already known that the second Mystery Game will be available for just one day, ending at the same time on December 19. Recently, a list of supposed giveaway plans from Epic Games has surfaced on Chinese social media.
Caution Advised
At this stage, we cannot confirm if the image shown below is genuine. However, we did find that the same games have been mentioned in various Chinese media outlets. Therefore, while we don’t dismiss the list outright, we suggest being cautious for now.
Previous Giveaways
It’s important to highlight that some of these titles were previously offered for free. For instance, Epic Games provided Jurassic World Evolution 2 just seven months ago. If the rumors are correct, then the total value of Epic Games’ giveaways by year-end would exceed $500. However, when considering current discounts, this amount drops to $297.65, including games like Commander Keen, Terraria, and Mortal Kombat 11, which are not currently listed on the Epic Games Store.
