Epic Games Store recently wrapped up its exciting mystery game promotion by offering a total of 16 free games, rounding it off with Hell Let Loose. This World War II FPS game, which has its dedicated fanbase despite mixed reviews at launch, is free to claim until the morning of January 9. After that, the stage is set for Turmoil, a gold rush simulation game, to take its place.
Lasting through January 16, Turmoil will be available at no cost to users of the Epic Games Store. Though initially met with mixed reviews after its 2016 release, Turmoil has seen a more favorable reception over time. The game offers a single-player campaign featuring procedurally generated levels as well as multiplayer matches that pit players against AI, friends, or random online opponents. While the main campaign can be completed in around 10 hours, it’s a game that holds plenty of replay value.
Fans eagerly anticipate each week’s free offering on the Epic Games Store, and this January isn’t disappointing. Although only one game is visible on the schedule thus far, 2025 could mirror some weeks from last year where two games were given away, adding a little extra excitement.
While the mystery promotions keep fans guessing, the typical lineup of free games is announced in advance, giving users something to look forward to. It will be interesting to see what new game replaces Turmoil on January 16. Until then, gamers should take advantage of this opportunity to bolster their collections with free content from the Epic Games Store.
