The next free Epic Games Store title has been revealed

The Epic Games Store’s next free title has been confirmed.

Turn-based 4X strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War will be free to claim from Epic’s PC marketplace from March 16-23.

It will replace first-person puzzle adventure game Call of the Sea, which is now free to claim until March 16.

“An otherworldly tale of self-discovery and mystery set in the 1930’s, Call of the Sea is a love letter to the adventure genre about one woman’s search for her missing husband in the uncharted reaches of the South Pacific,” according to publisher Raw Fury.

“On a lush island paradise, you will unearth the remnants of a lost civilisation, investigate clues, and solve a variety of clever puzzles to piece together the fate of your husband’s expedition.”

The Epic Games Store gave away 99 free titles last year (up from 89 in 2021), Epic said today.

According to the company, they had a combined worth of $2,240 (compared to $2,120 the year before), and users claimed over 700 million free games (down from 765 million in 2021).

The latest wave of ‘free’ titles for Amazon Prime Gaming members was recently confirmed.

Prime Gaming, which is part of an Amazon Prime subscription, offers members new PC titles to keep and exclusive in-game content each month.

In March, players will be able to claim new games every Thursday. They will include Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Adios, I am Fish, Faraway 3: Arctic Escape, Book of Demons, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind and City Legends: Trapping in Mirror – Collector’s Edition.
