The next free Epic Games Store game is Daemon X Machina, being free to download and keep from 27th January. The leak comes ahead of the official unveil at 4PM today, when Relicta will replace the current free game Galactic Civilizations III. Update: This has now been confirmed. The leak comes from a surprisingly reliable source, billbil-kun on French deals site Dealabs. They are now rather well known for getting the inside scoop on the monthly updates for PlayStation Plus and Xbox Games With Gold, and have now apparently turned their attentions to spoiling Epic Games’ surprises as well. Here’s the giveaways and how they will pan out over the next fortnight: Galactic Civilizations III – Free until 4PM GMT 20th January (today!) Relicta – Free from 4PM GMT 20th January until 4PM 27th January Daemon X Machina – Free from 4PM GMT 27th January until 4PM GMT 3rd February Daemon X Machina is not currently available for purchase on the Epic Games Store, but has been available on PC for the past two years via Steam. Before the PC port, Daemon X Machina was a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and a release that we said “sets the bar for robot action games” in our original review. We returned to the PC version to check out the enhancements it brought in 2020, and said: “If you never touched it before, you absolutely need to play this game no matter what platform you pick. For people who really live-or-die with the portability of Nintendo Switch games, you aren’t getting a massively inferior experience by sticking with the handheld. Playing on PC brings sharper resolution and a much more stable and smooth framerate, for sure, but none of it amounts to a night-and-day difference. Go with your heart and play the game on whichever machine speaks to you the most, because at the end of the day, you’re guaranteed to have a good time no matter how you play this game.” Of course, if your heart says “I’d like to play this game for free” instead of “I’d like to pay for it”, then you know where to look next week!
