The next free Epic Games Store title has been revealed

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

Deliver Us Mars, from developer KeokeN Interactive and publisher Frontier Foundry, will be free to claim on Epic’s PC marketplace from November 23-30.

“Sequel to the award-winning Deliver Us The Moon, Deliver Us Mars is an atmospheric sci-fi adventure offering an immersive astronaut experience,” according to its Epic Store listing.

“Explore new frontiers on a suspense-fuelled, high-stakes mission to recover the ARK colony ships stolen by the mysterious Outward.”

It will replace Surviving the Aftermath and Earthlock, which are now free to claim until November 23.

The Epic Games Store has yet to turn a profit since launching in December 2018 as a rival to Valve’s dominant Steam platform.

The store’s general manager Steve Allison said so last week during the Fortnite maker’s antitrust court battle with Google.

In a bid to take market share, Epic has offered game makers a more generous revenue split than Steam, with 88% of sales going to developers.
