TheEpic Games Storefree mystery games promotion marches on with the new free game for December 16. It’s become a December tradition for theEpic Games Storeto give away free games as a countdown to the new year, and the digital storefront has brought the promotion back for 2022.
The Epic Games Store free mystery games promotion for 2022 started withtower defense gameBloons TD 6, which first launched earlier this year. Previous Epic Games Store free mystery games have set a precedent for these games to be higher profile titles than what Epic Games Store typically gives out as part of its weekly free games during the year, butBloons TD 6has set a tone that this year’s offerings may be much smaller.

As of 10:00am CT,Bloons TD 6has been replaced on the Epic Games Store by the latest free game offering,Horizon Chase Turbo, which will be available from now until December 17 at 10:00am CT.Horizon Chase Turbois an arcade racing game that originally released in 2018 to mostly positive reviews. It should appeal to racing game fans, especially those who like older racing titles, but it may still disappoint those who have been hoping for more substantial games to be given away as part of the mystery games promotion. What could upset fans even more is thatHorizon Chase Turbohas been free on the Epic Games Store before.

Last year’s Epic Games Store free mystery games promotion certainly included smaller budget indie titles, but it also featured big budget titles as well. For example,Epic Games Store userswere treated to games like the 2017Preyreboot, the critically-acclaimedControl, and the entireTomb Raiderreboot trilogy. WhileBloons TD 6andHorizon Chase Turbomay have their fans and are perfectly fine games, there’s no denying that they’re simply not as well-known as most of the games that were given out last year.
There are still many days left of theEpic Games Store free mystery games promotion for December 2022, so there’s plenty of time for Epic to give away some more notable releases. However, considering the sheer number of games that are readily available to purchase through the Epic Games Store, it’s really anyone’s guess as to what those games may be. There are near-countless possibilities, especially when one considers that the Epic Games Store free games have been repeats on some occasions, like it’s doing withHorizon Chase Turbo. Epic Games Store users will simply have to return to the storefront on Saturday, December 17 at 10:00am CT to see what the next free game will be.
