The next free Epic Games Store titles have been revealed

The Epic Games Store’s next free titles have been confirmed.

Blazing Sails and Q.U.B.E. Ultimate Bundle will be free to claim from Epic’s PC marketplace from October 12-19.

The former is billed as “a fast-paced pirate PvP game”, while the latter is a collection of first-person titles in which players manipulate cubes to solve puzzles.

Blazing Sails and Q.U.B.E. Ultimate Bundle will replace Godlike Burger, which is now free to claim until October 12.

According to its Epic Games Store listing, “Godlike Burger puts you in the shoes of a maniac chef who makes the best burgers in the universe. The secret ingredient? The customers themselves! Run the restaurant, cook delicious burgers and kill lots of aliens. But be careful – leave no witnesses uncooked!”

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said in March that players should expect to see further high-profile Epic Games Store exclusives in the future.

And in August the Fortnite maker announced a new Epic Games Store exclusivity scheme.

The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.
