The next free Epic Games Store titles have been revealed

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

Metroidvania action game F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch and single-player adventure game Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion will be free to claim on Epic’s PC marketplace from November 2-9.

They’ll replace survival horror sequel The Evil Within 2 and puzzle platformer Tandem: a Tale of Shadows, which are now free to claim until November 2.

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.

Another Epic Games Store scheme which will see developers getting a 100% revenue share for the first six months by bringing their older titles to the marketplace was revealed last week.
