There are only eight left! The much-noticed holiday campaign of the Fortnite developer Epic slowly but surely turning onto the home stretch. Since Thursday, December 15, 2022, you can register in the Epic Games Store daily from 5 p.m download a free game. Which title it is in each case is not officially known in advance. After 24 hours the promotion is over and the next game appears. The previous selection of free games included older triple-A productions, real indie gems and a real blockbuster with Death Stranding.
The new free game in the Epic Games Store has apparently already been leaked
To the speculation in advance like the embers of a warming campfire of souls really nice to cheer on, Epic publishes a daily preview image in the form of a stylized wrapping paper, the pattern of which provides clues to the next title. These are sometimes more and sometimes less subtle.
In the case of the free game for Wednesday December 28ththe black wrapping paper is decorated with silver ornaments that fans of Dark Souls and Elden ring should rejoice. The knight’s helmet with a hint of a crown clearly points to a darker action role-playing game that was released for the PC in 2020.
Is this Souls like the new free game on the Epic Games Store?
Mortal Shell is an action role-playing game from former developers of Halo, Diablo and Call of Duty. Not the worst of references when aiming to release a Dark Souls clone on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. And so the result was quite positive.
MortalShell was rated mostly positively. The compactness of the title deserves special mention. While you torment yourself for many hours through the deadly game world in Dark Souls or Elden Ring, you can get through Mortal Shell in a good ten hours. Appropriate skills required. All fans of Souls Like Games should curb their joy a little. We won’t know with absolute certainty until 5:00 p.m. whether it’s the new one free game in the Epic Games Store is actually Mortal Shell.
