The Epic Games Store has officially ended its holiday games giveaway as it reverted back to having weekly free games on offer for players to download and play forever.
The first game for this particular tradition has been revealed as the multiplayer shooter 'Hell Let Loose," which has been quite popular with the community. The current offer is set to end on Jan. 9, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. ET or 8:00 a.m. PT.
Get Hell Let Loose for Free
"Hell Let Loose" is described as an online shooter that places players on a battlefield during World War II. This is a setting that some consider being used quite often, but the game takes a unique approach and has received praise from a lot of players.
Instead, it focuses on strategy and cooperation with your teammates rather than letting them just gung-ho and get the highest kill/death ratio.
Many fans believe that the best thing about "Hell Let Loose" being a free game on the Epic Games Store is that it is normally expensive, according to Comic Book.
Being sold at $49.99, "Hell Let Loose" is available to download and play free forever, which is a major savings opportunity for players. The game lets players join the chaos of war and become part of some of the most iconic battles of the Eastern and Western Fronts.
These include Carentan, Omaha Beach, Stalingrad, Kursk, and many others that made their mark on history. "Hell Let Loose" also drops players straight into intense action, where they will have to fight across vast fields and various other landscapes to reach victory.
Epic Games Store's Giveaway
The game tasks players with traversing different maps and focuses on having them invade territory from enemy forces and capture points in each skirmish.
"Hell Let Loose" requires much more attention than other games as simple mistakes could leave you dead, PCGamesN said.
"Hell Let Loose" first came out in 2021 and has since added brand new maps for players to fight on that cover multiple fronts of World War II. Despite the maps having the same objectives, the different landscapes make each experience unique.
Prior to the multiplayer shooter, the Epic Games Store made several games free to download and play on a daily basis throughout the holidays. These include titles like "The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria," "Vampire Survivors," and "Dredge."
One of the most recent and probably the most popular titles that was part of this giveaway was "Kingdom Come: Deliverance." This is noteworthy because the game's sequel is set to come out on Feb. 4, 2025, according to Game Rant.
