Oh boy, a bunch of games I already have for free on GOG! But honestly I was hoping for Metro Last Light since I missed that one before so who am I to talk!

They gave these for free on GOG? That's weird, must have missed them. Do you remember when?
Comment has been collapsed.
Turns out I got Fallout in 2012, and 2 and Tactics in 2013. Can't blame you for missing em.

Oh wow, that's really a long time ago. No wonder I didn't catch it. This phase of gaming interest is surprisingly long lasting, alas, it wasn't present 9 years ago. Thanks for checking it out!

Searching for the receipt of my Fallout Classic Collection on GOG, it says: "Date of Purchase: 2013-12-12", so it was free 9 years ago...

Not gonna lie, I already have the three games on GOG.
Still, it sucks for me, but I am glad more people can play these games. They are a blast, pun intended.

Billbil-kun leaked that the game for Friday will be Encased

If it's the same I really hope they give Baldur's Gate because it would be 2 isometric RPGs why not put another one

Seems to check out. Was a bit annoying to find but the hint object resembles the icon for the "Guts" attribute.

I think the nuclear sign after the title is the same as it was on the wrapping paper.
Or I'm missing out something.

Okay, Epic. This one is actually good. I'll take it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since nobody has explicitly pointed it out yet:
Must be different freebies depending on region.
Here in Europe it's not 60 Seconds Reatomized? but instead the Fallout Classic Collection.
Seems better anyway 😅 I know they're old but Fallout 2 is an amazing game and everybody should have played it.
Comment has been collapsed.
The free games from Epic Games Store are the same across all regions. Here is the official tweet.
One thing to point out is that based on the clues given for future game(s), the OP guesses what the game(s) will be but also puts a question mark at the end. That was the case for 60 Seconds! Reatomized. It was assumed to be today’s free game, but it turned out to be Fallout.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I see 😅
I didn't pay close attention and assumed the questionmark was part of the game title.
Comment has been collapsed.
In this case, yes, because the OP guessed it was going to be 60 Seconds! Reatomized, hence the question mark at the end, and they haven’t come online yet to update the post.
Update: Haha, cool!

The only difference is that it seems some countries get it (atleast) one hour earlier than others.
Because I've noticed that people here revealing what game it is for the day and talking about that they have gotten it when here (in germany) the countdown for the game is still about an hour left.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would have to see that for myself, but I highly doubt it. The timer on the website works (or should work) based on a device’s timezone and thus is the same regardless of where a user is. In addition, if you look at official tweets from Epic Games Store, the game reveals happen at the exact same time as the website.
Comment has been collapsed.
well, lets compare...
As of this post my timer says: 20 hours 15minutes to the next game
Comment has been collapsed.
well...then I don't know why for the last few days, people always have started to talk about that days game an hour before I could redeem it myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah. That remains a mystery. This explanation is the most likely scenario I can think of.
Comment has been collapsed.
This can be due daylight savings time. If EPIC does its business based ona fixed time point worldwide, but some countries use Daylight Savings and others doesnt - or just doesnt adjust time on the same day - then you can have an hour discrepancy.
It's not that EPIC realeases differently, but that a region has set it clocks different from the rest of the world.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey kids, if you like RPGs and never gave the original Fallout games a try, don't miss today's freebies. Really ones of the best RPGs ever in my opinion.

PSA: This might be a downer for some people's Christmas/holidays, but I have decided to step down as the organizer for this Epic free games thread at the end of this year. I will continue on to the last daily giveaway, but if anyone wants to step in, reply to this post and I'll give you a shoutout when the time comes. It was a pleasure hosting this thread for SteamGifts.

Thanks for all the work LMB. Perhaps we see each other again in groupees remake(?)

Thank you for your help and service. Merry Christmas.

Hey. Thank you for the amazing job you have been doing!
I created this thread, which contains a spreadsheet that I regularly (daily and weekly) update, much like your threads. In light of your announcement, I also made the table, which includes all the free games. I would be more than glad to be the next host.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for your work. And NO, it is not a downer, I see the glass half-full. I appreciate the work you've done! We need to appreciate when individuals take the time (from their own lives) to do something good for us.
Thank you, and have a great Christmas time!!!

First time missing a free Epic game EVER :)
Was sure I clamied everyday but noticed now I missed Lego Builder's Journey.
Must have been because I got a new computer that day, thought I had claimed it before fixing everything.

Encased is the free game of the day
Next image to decipher Metro ...?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes Metro the color is matching Last Light, the green can come to Sam's Story DLC from Exodus. Maybe Metro Bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Metro Redux matches the orange (the remake of both Metro and Last Light) and Metro: Last Light Redux matches the yellow. The green might be the radiation? Several of the areas have this green atmosphere (it's kind of a stretch I know).
Comment has been collapsed.
Some people were wondering yesterday how you always get that info a little bit early every day.
I just assume you're subscribed to a newsletter I'm not or it's data mining wizardry.
Tell us! Are you some sort of secret Steam spy among Tim Sweeney's disciples? 😅
Comment has been collapsed.
Some time zones get the reveal (an hour I think?) earlier possible because these countries could be entering the next day technically? Countries like Japan, South/North Korea, Indonesia, Australia would technically be on the next day during the time of reveal.
Comment has been collapsed.
Possibly 🤔 I saw that theory yesterday and assumed it's rather that somebody in the Epic HQ goes like "Release the freebies!" and presses a button 😅 which would make stuff like timezones and daylight saving time irrelevant but maybe it actually comes down to local servers... then it would make sense.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it always made more sense to me too that they would release the games on the exact time for every country. I don't know what their reasoning is however, crazy EPIC people :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm gonna laugh so hard if it's Mini Metro ^^
Yes, I know it's gonna be Metro.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know, at least it wouldn't be a repeat. Especially of a series almost everyone already owns (unless they decide to give away Metro Exodus too).
Comment has been collapsed.
True, but that M is exactly the one from the logo, so... ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Metro 2033 Redux has been given away twice already, and so far, no other game has been repeated three times. (Metro: Last Light Redux was free only once.) My guess is Metro Exodus Gold Edition.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess in that case, Metro: Last Light Redux (cover) is a more likely contender, given that it went free just once.
Here are the cover images for Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Exodus.
Comment has been collapsed.
my guess is the whole trilogy given that it's Christmas day.
Comment has been collapsed.
sure whatever it is called (indeed in most countries 25th is the "main day" where one gets presents, e.g. in hungary though it's the 24th, i wonder where epic store lives?)
Comment has been collapsed.
It may be Metro Exodus Gold since the Expansion Pass DLC has orange and yellow colors. But I'm more inclined to believe it'll be Metro and Last Light Redux (despite one of the games being given away thrice). But there's not enough evidence for either conclusion so we'll just have to wait.
Comment has been collapsed.
Doesn't matter to me since I already own all of the Metro series. But it would be cool and it would make more sense if they gave Metro Exodus Gold, since the other two games are pretty old and Metro Redux has already been given away on multiple occasions. And it would be pretty horrible to put a repeat like that on Christmas Eve.
Comment has been collapsed.
I couldn’t agree more. I hope they were able to pull it off and they finally give us Metro Exodus. I personally don’t own it, and I would love to have it in my collection.
Comment has been collapsed.
Perhaps, or maybe it is going to be Metro: Last Light Redux.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha. That is okay. As soon as I saw the cover for Last Night, I had a hunch it was going to be that. Unfortunately, though, this is the second time it has gone free, but it is a good chance for anyone who hasn’t got it. As I mentioned above, no game has been given away thrice.

Metro Last Light Redux is the free game of the day

We still have to wait 30 minutes here in germany to see if you are telling the truth ;)
Probably really a dailight saving thingy...

by the colors and the necklace, it looks like death stranding

it could be Raji: An Ancient Epic, the necklace is similar, but a hope it will be Death Standing.

Yeah, they gave it away already with 2033 Redux. I was hoping for Exodus but oh well.

Great! Waiting for humble choice. I guess a few months and they will put it in there too. this slop worm epic does not care

I found this, look at the description/images. Looks like they're adding the stuff from the Director's Cut.

If this is true, then in my books the event is a success. I've been waiting for a good deal to get this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Man I was expecting the latest Metro... I feel down now, how could they miss it? We're all waiting for it! What a let down...
Comment has been collapsed.
It's unavailable to buy in EGS right now, this is probably true.
Comment has been collapsed.
The Director's Cut edition superseded the base edition, that is why the base edition is listed on the store but not available for purchase.
Moreover, there is still hope for the Director's Cut edition.

Thanks, I didn't know that. 15 minutes left, let's see if rumors are true.

Metro: Last Light Redux.
There's not many game trailers that really get to me, that feels more than just: ''Oh, cool''.
Don't get me wrong, there's some awesome trailers out there, but they are just ''screen candy'', never gets to you.
Then there are those that do, trailers I still watch from time to time.
The backwards/forwards shifting Dead Island 1 trailer with the vacaitioning family of three for example.
And this one. As a lover of the Metro series this one gets to me: Metro Last Light Mobius trailer.
Comment has been collapsed.
I played all entries in the Metro series, even bonus missions in Last Last Redux (which some don't even know exist) but I don't recall ever watching this Mobius trailer before. It really does send a chill down your spine and conveys the feeling you get in the game, constantly struggling to stay alive, for one.
Thanks for sharing indeed!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ho my... Those trailers😱
The dead island one almost made me 'sick'
Thank you for sharing this is art even if if hurts😅👍
