Next Week's Free Game
While Crying Suns is a great deal, the real big surprise is next week’s free game. Epic Games Store will give away Star Wars Battlefront 2: Celebration Edition from January 14 to 21. Not only will we get Battlefront 2 for free, but it’s also the Celebration Edition. This is the complete edition that gives you access to everything the game has to offer.
Battlefront 2 was panned by fans for less content, yet most criticisms were focused on the very aggressive monetization method. However, after constant updates and free post-launch support, the game has made a complete turnaround. Now the game offers quite a lot of content, and monetization isn’t linked with progress anymore.
If you haven’t played the game yet, then we highly recommend that you do. The multiplayer mode is also quite good when played with friends. It’s a shame that Battlefront 2 wasn’t like this at launch.
