The Epic Games Store is now offering "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" for free ahead of the sequel's release next month.
This is the first free game on the platform this year, and many of the recent titles that have been part of the tradition have been widely praised.
The last game that was free on the Epic Games Store in 2024 was "Sifu," which was joined by "Control" and "Redacted" over the holidays.
Get Kingdom Come: Deliverance for Free
The time that "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" will be free on the Epic Games Store is until Jan. 2, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. ET or 8:00 a.m. PT. Players who are able to get this game before that time will be able to own it completely for free and play it whenever they want at no cost.
"Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is an open-world RPG that has a medieval setting where players are thrust into a raging war. The game, developed by Warhorse Studios, came out seven years ago and has been well-received by the community, according to Comic Book.
The fact that the game is coming out for free on the Epic Games Store right now is the best time for players to pick it up. This is because its sequel, "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2," is set to release on Feb. 4, 2025.
This gives players a chance to play the original game to brush up on their swordfighting skills and be prepared for the sequel. This is primarily because the upcoming title is set to expand and build off the story of its predecessor.
Sequel Coming Out Next Month
In "Kingdom Come: Deliverance," players will take control of their character in the early 1400s in the middle of the Roman Empire.
This is when Hungary is trying to invade Bohemia, and you will have to help the protagonist, Henry, become a distinguished resistance fighter, PCGamesN said.
At the start of the game, you watch as Henry's village is ransacked on the orders of King Sigismund and his family slaughtered. You will guide him on his adventure to face off against Sigismund by navigating the tense political landscape and finishing various quests.
Players can choose to specialize in a variety of weapon types, both melee or long-range ones.
They can also tackle different situations through diplomacy, manipulation, or outright violence. The game is essentially an immersive role-playing game that is set in historical times.
When "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" came out in 2018, it opened to a Mixed rating summary on Steam but has since gotten back up and now has a Very Positive rating on Valve's gaming platform, according to Game Rant.
