Yes, this is a repeat from a couple years ago but I think they're entitled to a week off after dropping Plague Tale on us.
Next up: Yooka-Laylee (not a repeat of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair).

Should "Open Space Opera" be a genre?

"Wait what? LH not posting the weekly freebie? Inconceivable!"
Not today, but it's an exception. Back to regular schedule next week, don't worry. It wouldn't be an Epic freebie announcement without LH's sassy commentary, would it?
Coming up next week: Yoku's Island Express

I swear, they do it just to annoy me. As it stands, the coming attraction is a repeat of The Escapists. I expect that to change but I'm not updating this announcement any more today.

Trying to figure out if Epic has given away more Mars games or cannibalism games. -
