The Epic Games Store Free Games for October 10 Open Up a Window of Opportunity
October is set to be a rather unique month for the Epic Games Store, and if players keep an eye on its freebies, they might be in for some treats.
The next Epic Games Store free games are Invincible Presents: Atom Eve and Kardboard Kings. Originally released in 2023, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is a visual novel game with some turn-based RPG combat. It earned mostly positive reviews at the time of its release, with particular praise for its story. Fans of the Invincible comic book and show should definitely make a note to claim it for free through the Epic Games Store come October 17. Kardboard Kings, meanwhile, lets players open up their own trading card shop. Instead of being a straight-up card shop simulator, Kardboard Kings throws a mystery story into the mix as well. It was also well-received, and in fact, has “Mostly Positive” reviews on Steam.
Epic Games Store Free Games for October 2024
- Empyrion: Galactic Survival (October 10 – October 17)
- Outliver: Tribulation (October 10 – October 17)
- Invincible Presents: Atom Eve (October 17 – October 24)
- Kardboard Kings (October 17 – October 24)
Invincible Presents: Atom Eve and Kardboard Kings will be free on the Epic Games Store from October 17 to October 24. On October 24, they will be replaced by a different set of free games. The Epic Games Store free games have proven time and time again that they can really be just about anything one can think of, but since Halloween is fast-approaching, it would make sense for a horror game to be one of the free titles. Alternatively, the Epic Games Store may wait until Thursday, October 31 to give away a free horror game instead. Of course, it’s possible that none of the other Epic Games Store free games for October 2024 will be horror games at all, so fans should keep that possibility in mind.
All kinds of horror games have been given away through the Epic Games Store in the past, and so there’s always a chance that another could be. Epic Games Store users will simply have to keep an eye out and make sure that they claim the other free games in the meantime.
