Mysterious free game on Epic Games Store during the gala

Epic hasn’t revealed what game it will be or left any official clues, and the important detail is that the announcement will only be made when the ceremony starts. According to the shared information, the title will be revealed and can be claimed from the start of the TGA, scheduled for the early morning of Friday, December 12 at 2:00 (Spanish mainland time), which corresponds to approximately 19:00 on Thursday, December 11 in Mexico City.

• It will be then that it will be confirmed which game is part of the special promotion linked to the gala. The move fits with Epic’s usual strategy, which has been using its free games as a hook to attract traffic on significant dates and major industry events for years.

With the community already voting in the Player’s Voice category and the odds for the GOTY heating up, this year’s appointment with The Game Awards will add an extra incentive for PC players: follow the gala and, at the same time, add a new free game to the Epic library as soon as the promotion is activated.
