Whenever the Epic Games Store releases a new batch of free games, it usually reveals what the following week’s free games will be. However, the Epic Games Store is keeping next week’s free game a secret, teasing the return of itspopular mystery game promotion. As some may recall, the Epic Games Store usually spends December counting down to the holidays with an advent calendar-like promotion where it gives away a new mystery game every day.
It’s unclear if this year’s Epic Games Store mystery game promotion will be the same, where users get a new free game every single day, or if it will be on a week to week basis. However, the return of the Epic Games Store mystery games are sure to cause some excitement regardless. Unless there’s amajor Epic Games Store mystery game leaklike last year, fans will have to wait until next Thursday, December 16 to find out what the first mystery game is.
