Klinsk chronicled this one at <way too early> local time. Thanks!

LH
Do you get the feeling Ubisoft is running out of old games to give away?

Is it a demo? A reboot? A stand-alone mini-game? Who knows? Whatever it is, it's free in the Epic store for the next week. Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventure.

Link[http://www.epicgames.com]

Details:
- Account/DRM required: Epic Games (NOT Steam)
- Offer good through November 16, 1600 GMT
- It's an Epic exclusive so no Steam store page for evaluation.

Seriously though: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep was the final capstone DLC for Borderlands 2 and IMHO one of the greatest DLCs ever. It was so good that Epic is releasing an entire game based on Tiny Tina's world titled (appropriately enough) Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Wonderlands is not coming out until March but Epic has rebuilt the story from Assault on Dragon Keep into a standalone game that serves as a prequel/demo for Wonderlands. This game is listed in their store with a retail price ($10USD) but it is being offered for free for the first week.

Whether or not you know Borderlands, you should be able to enjoy this as a stand-alone looter shooter and use it to determine if Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is going to be your sort of game.

LH
When you are ready to play the game, please smack Mister Flesh-Stick in his bitch face.

Channel your inner Big Brother and spy on the residents of an apartment building with Beholder, free in the Steam store from now until Steam Dawn on November 11 (1800 GMT).

Klinsk had his eye on this one. Thanks!

LH
Now, the third stalk has a disintegration ray....

SteamWorld Dig 2 is currently free on Steam and GOG as part of a promotional event by Thunderful, its publisher. The giveaway is only being offered for 24 hours though, so act fast on this one.

If you've recently seen a keys giveaway for this game floating around and you're confused why it's free again, it appears that after a rather scuffed attempt at handing out keys through the mail, whoever was in charge has given up on that idea. So here we are.

Steam
GOG[http://www.gog.com]

Thanks to temo-777 and thales.ulisses for the heads up for the giveaway on GOG and Steam, respectively.

Details:
- Platform/DRM: Steam, GOG
- Giveaway ends on November 11, 12:00PM CST
- ASF command:

Enjoy!

I retract my previous about re-gifted birthday presents

Epic breaks the announcement headline bar this week with a three game giveaway. Build your own dungeon with Guild of Dungeoneering, discover the legends of the Alaskan tundra with Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) and... somethingorother Radiohead with KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION.

The Guild of Dungeoneering Ultimate Edition launches today for all PC clients. It's a remaster that includes new content and the previous DLCs incorporated into the base game. Steam and GOG owners get it as a free upgrade. Expect it to become available at Steam dawn. For now, it looks like the Epic giveaway is just the original version but claiming it will give you a discount if you wish to purchase the ultimate edition.

Next week, theHunter: Call of the Wild and an Antstream Epic Welcome pack.

LH
I hope they don't make any last minute changes to this one, the pre-write took forever.

This Black Friday, face off against hordes of rat-men swarming over your city devouring everything in their path! Or, get a free Steam key for Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide from Fanatical.

Details:
- Linked Fanatical and Steam account required
- Offer good thru November 30 (or while supplies last)
- Steam Store page

Right now, the site is being swamped and returning all sorts of error messages and time-outs. Be patient, the offer is good for a long time and will probably be followed by a "free in Steam Store" pretty quickly.

LH
I guess Victor does kind of look like a Pilgrim.

Bag your own Thanksgiving feast with theHunter: Call of the Wild, free this week from the Epic store.

There's also an Epic welcome pack for Antstream Arcade[http://www.epicgames.com] that contains 1090 gems (which is apparently some sort of in game currency).

Next week, Dead by Daylight -and- while True: learn()

LH
No, they spell it without the space for some reason.

What stresses you out? Being chased by a psychotic killer or trying to code an AI system? Either way, Epic has you covered this week. Grab your copies of Dead by Daylight and while True:learn() and escape your otherwise stress free life.

LH
Once again waiting for the 12 days of Epic announcement

Arguably, the great-grandfather of Cyberpunk 2077. What a difference 20 years makes.

No delivery truck to drop off this box, it's free in the Steam store. Grab Box: The game before December 6th, 21:59 GMT and it's yours forever.

December seems to be "free Anno" month

Two more freebies from Epic this week, Godfall Challenger Edition and Prison Architect.

Godfall Challenger Edition Link[http://www.epicgames.com]
Prison Architect Link[http://www.epicgames.com]

Details:
- Account/DRM required: Epic Games (NOT Steam)
- Offer good through December 16, 1600 GMT
- Prison Architect Steam Store Page for evaluation.
- Godfall is an Epic exclusive, so no Steam store page.

The Challenger Edition of Godfall supposedly gives you access to a maxed character with gear and skill points. No idea what this means but the base game still has a retail price so it's more than just an FTP lootpack or DLC. I dunno, go fell some Gods or something.

Next week: A Mystery Game. Oh. We're back to that are we? Well, it does have the wrapping paper style box that they used for the 12 days of presents last year so that's a good sign.

LH
Another prison themed Epic giveaway... hmmmm.

As was predicted, the Techland 30th anniversary celebration continues! Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is free in the Steam store until Steam Dawn (1800 GMT) on December 14th.

LINK

Klinsk was quick on the draw when this one went live. Thanks!

LH
With as many times as Juarez has called, why has nobody taken a message?

The gift ninjas at GOG have dropped another one on us - Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, free for the next two days.
