Who says new Thursday, says new free game on the Epic Games Store. This week, users will be able to get their hands on a slightly bigger title than usual.
It’s a little ritual well anchored in the habits of PC gamers. Every Thursday there is a free game. The Epic Game Store will continue its distribution of weekly gifts this year despite the current context of the industry. The American publisher generally draws on the independent scene. He takes advantage of his aura to highlight productions little known to the general public, but not only that. It happens that some which have had a little success on their scale are offered from time to time. This will be a bit the case with the Epic Games Store free game of the week, but as good news never comes alone, those for next week are already known. And there will be three.
A new free Epic Games Store game
Each new week has its own free game(s). So you still have a few hours left to get your hands on the latest titles on offer and it would be a shame to miss out. Headlining, the very good visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, accompanied by a more unknown beat’em all: Lost Castel. This Thursday, February 15 at 5 p.m. sharp, they will be replaced by a new gift: Dakar Desert Rally. An open-world game from Saber Interactive in which you can travel across vast sandy expanses and take part in a whole host of iconic Dakar events.
This new free Epic Games Store game offers many licensed vehicles from the world’s largest manufacturers. These range from cars to motorcycles, quad bikes, buggies and even trucks, all of which allow you to tame these open wildernesses. The program includes a multiplayer and solo mode, more than 30 special stages taken from official courses, teams and drivers also under license, as well as seasons and dynamic weather that await you. On paper, this fairly ambitious game for its category had everything to please, especially since it was sold as “the greatest rally game ever developed”. The feedback is ultimately quite average, even if the players who have tried it recognize its great qualities, particularly in terms of driving sensations or its map is gigantic which makes it an absolutely enormous title.
Three cult free games next week
Dakar Desert Rally can therefore be collected for free on the Epic Games Store from February 15 to 22, 2024, still at 5 p.m. French time. After this period, it will become chargeable again and will be replaced by another gift. Well, more like three. Faithful to his position, the dataminer Billbil-Kun has once again leaked the identity of the next titles offered. This will be the Fallout trilogy, including the first two episodes as well as Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. Enough to get up to date before the broadcast of the Amazon Prime Video series next April. The most loyal, however, will be sidelined, since this collection had already been offered in the past on the Epic Games Store.
