The Epic Games Store has revealed its next free title

The next free Epic Games Store title has been confirmed.

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! will be free to claim from Epic’s PC marketplace from October 13-19.

It will replace Rising Hell and Slain: Back From Hell, which are currently free to download until October 13.

“Rising Hell is a vertical platformer rogue-lite filled with adrenaline-pumping action and tons of heavy gothic metal shreds,” according to its Epic Games Store listing.

Platformer Slain: Back from Hell offers “heavy metal inspired arcade combat with puzzle elements and gore galore”.

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is billed as “a mash-up of the best features from the classic console games with a ton of funky fresh improvements. Relive the original roguelike game with new 4 player online and local co-op, crazy Earthlings, weird presents and aliens from Funkotron”.

The Epic Games Store gave away 89 free titles last year (down from 103 in 2020), with a combined worth of $2,120. According to Epic, users claimed over 765 million free games in 2021.
