World War Z is now free on the Epic Games Store

World War Z, Figment, and Tormentor x Punisher are now free to download from the Epic Games Store.

While Figment (normally priced at £14.99) and Tormentor x Punisher (normally £5.59) were previously confirmed to be part of the digital storefront’s free games promotion, World War Z (normally £31.99) is a surprise addition.

They’ll be free to download until 11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm GMT on April 2, when they’ll be replaced by Gone Home and Hob.

The Epic Games Store’s weekly free game promotion, which launched alongside the storefront in December 2018, will run throughout 2020.

Epic Games announced on Thursday that it has launched its own publishing label and signed projects from Remedy (Control), Gen Design (The Last Guardian) and Playdead (Inside).

Epic Games Publishing will offer “the most developer-friendly terms in the industry” so that creators can “focus on making great games”, the company said.

The terms of its publishing deals include full creative freedom and IP ownership for developers. Epic will front all development costs and share profits 50/50 once these costs have been recouped.
