TheEpic Games Storeis currently running its Epic Mega Sale promotion, and as part of that promotion, EGS users are being treated to new free mystery games every week. The Epic Games Store got the ball rolling withBorderlands 3, which was followed up byBioShock: The Collection. A popular theory suggested that thenext Epic Games Store free game would beGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, but it turns out that theory wasn’t accurate.
The latestEpic Games Storefree game is none other thanWolfenstein: The New Order, which is free for users to claim from now until next Thursday, June 9, at 10:00am CT, at which point it will be replaced by the next free game. The Epic Games Store free mystery games will continue for at least one more week, as the Epic Games Store is not letting fans know what next week’s free game will be in advance, so fans will just have to boot up the launcher on June 9 to find out.

For those who may be unfamiliar withWolfenstein: The New Order, the game was originally released in 2014 by MachineGames and Bethesda. It serves as a reboot of the classic first-person shooter franchiseWolfenstein, earning strong reviews and revitalizing the series.Wolfenstein: The New Orderwas followed up by astandalone expansion calledThe Old Bloodas well as a full-fledged sequel calledWolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
Epic Games Store Free Games June 2022
What’s interesting aboutWolfenstein: The New Orderbeing the free game this week is that it blows a hole in one of the main theories fans have had about the Epic Games Store mystery games.Borderlands 3was the first free mystery game, whileBioShock: The Collectionwas the second free mystery game.Both those games were published by 2K Games, which resulted in many fans assuming that all the free mystery games would be 2K titles.
However,Wolfenstein: The New Orderwas published by Bethesda, so that’s clearly not the pattern Epic Games is going with when it comes to the free mystery titles. This means that the nextEpic Games Store free mystery gamesare going to be more difficult to predict, but it also means that just about anything can be one of the free mystery games.
Epic Games Store users have at least one more free mystery game to look forward to, but it’s possible that there will be two more. TheEpic Mega Saleis wrapping up on June 16, so it’s unclear if Epic Games will mark the occasion with one last free mystery game, or if it will go back to its normal routine of showing fans the free games in advance. Whatever the case may be, Epic Games Store users will find out come next week.
