Epic Games Store Free Mystery Game for January 2 Revealed – GameRant

​ 

From now until January 3 at 10 am CT, Epic Games Store users can claim 20 Minutes Till Dawn as part of its ongoing Mystery Game promotion. According to recent Epic Games Store rumors and leaks, the promo’s final game will go live on January 4, so there are only a couple of days as of this writing before it all goes back to normal.

While many fans should be sure to check out 20 Minutes Till Dawn, it’s worth mentioning that A Plague Tale: Innocence is rumored to be the January 3 game and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will be the final game, lasting from January 4 until January 11. The Epic Games Store mystery game promotion may be winding down, but based on this selection of games (proven accurate thus far), it doesn’t seem to be slowing down in these final days.

Here’s a list of all the titles that have ever been made available for free on the Epic Games Store.

20 Minutes Till Dawn may not have the same name recognition as A Plague Tale or GOTG, but it’s still an equally great game. 20 Minutes Till Dawn is perhaps best described as a Survivors-like, following the same style of Vampire Survivors gameplay where players must fend off waves of monsters. Players must survive until dawn, using gems from each round to unlock characters, weapons, etc., to complement its roguelike elements. The main difference between it and Vampire Survivors is that attacks and recharges are not automatic. 20 Minutes Till Dawn was an instant commercial success, with it also earning a Strong OpenCritic rating with a Top Critic Average of 77.

Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (December 13 – December 20) DNF Duel (December 20 – December 21) Melvor Idle (December 21 – December 22) Art of Rally (December 22 – December 23) Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition (December 23 – December 24) Ghostwire: Tokyo (December 24 – December 25) The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition (December 25 – December 26) Human Resource Machine (December 26 – December 27) Cursed to Golf (December 27 – December 28) Cat Quest (December 28 – December 29) Snakebird Complete (December 29 – December 30) Saints Row (December 30 – December 31) Ghostrunner (December 31 – January 1) Escape Academy (January 1 – January 2) 20 Minutes Till Dawn (January 2 – January 3)

To highlight the sheer quality and variety of its gameplay, some of 20 Minutes Till Dawn‘s best builds are the self-explanatory Infinite Flame build with Scarlett, the chaotic Bladestorm build with Abby, or the Batwoman build which focuses on the Batgun (also with Abby). All in all, it’s a chaotic good time.

A new year can sometimes set the tone for everything to follow, and if anything, it’s clear that Epic Games Store is kicking off the new year in style.
