The Epic free game for Christmas Eve is Dredge. This game looks amazing. I really like the art style and who doesn't like cruising around in their boat doing some fishing instead of working? Epic does not provide any videos on the game page so you'll have to check out Black Salt Games official YouTube channel to see the game in action. Then go grab your copy before it expires tomorrow morning.
Ok. Epic Games is doing the daily free games starting last Thursday. While the games are not super expensive AAA games, there have been a couple I picked up because they look like they could be fun. Check them out daily and see if there are any you like too! Todays game is Dark and Darker - Legendary Status. I have not heard of the game before and they are not showing any screenshots or videos. You can check out the Dark and Darker Early Access Season 5 Trailer on the Dark and Darker YouTube channel. Looks like a first person shooter with some in-app purchases. If you dig it, grab it before it goes back to full price.
I take back what I said a couple of days ago about Epic Games giving away a free game everyday from now till Christmas. It is still one game a week and this week's free game is The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria™. You and your friends can team up to basically play Minecraft with better graphics. Do some building, crafting, and mining, and maybe reclaims Moria while you are at it. Grab The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria™ now!
Epic Games is giving away a couple of free skins for Fortnite this week. You can get Chord Kahele or Mr. Dappermint to keep and they work in both Fortnite and LEGO® Fortnite.
For Chord Kahele, you have to do some stuff on mobile. They did this a little while ago with the Katalina skin and it looked like it was limited to European mobile users so I never got it.
Mr. Dappermint is a little easier. If you already connected your Epic account to your LEGO® account, you probably already have it. If you didn't, just create Epic and LEGO® accounts and link them.
Big updates coming from Epic Games in the next couple of days. Tomorrow, LEGO® Fortnite Becomes LEGO® Fortnite Odyssey with the Storm Chasers Update! You and a bunch of your friend can battle the Storm King and his storm-wild legion, led by Raven. I don't know who they are but they sound like bad guys. Get more Odyssey info on the official site.
Also coming December 12 is LEGO® Fortnite Brick Life. It's like real life only in LEGO® form. You have to get a job to get a house. Hopefully only one job required and not with eight roommates. Get more Brick Life info on the official site as well.
LEGO® Star Wars™: The Skywalker Saga is the official free game of the week on Epic Games this week. Regularly $49.99, you can get it at no charge to keep forever. You can also grab Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop for free if that is more your speed. And stay tuned because starting next week, Epic Games 12 Days of Christmas starts with a different free game every day until Christmas. Next week's game is unknown at this time but they are usually pretty good recent games.
Marvel Rivals is officially live. I messed around with the different heroes for a bit tonight. It's going to take some time to get use to all the abilities. I'll have to check for a Mystery Heroes option so I am forced to play the different heroes. So far, I like Jeff the Land Shark.
The wait is even more almost over! PC gamers can now start pre-loading Marvel Rivals so they are ready to go when the game launches and according to the Steam page, the game launches Thursday December 5.
