The PC Gaming Show at E3 2019 was a big event for Epic Games Store, who sponsored the show and took the opportunity to announce quite a few new games coming to the store in the next few months. More to the purpose, the store has also announced its intention to extend the weekly giveaways program that started with the first Epic Games Store sale. Before the sale, the Epic Games Store had been giving away a game every two weeks. Now, for the remainder of 2019, you will be able to redeem a free copy of a new game on the Epic Games Store every week, even after the sale is over. Considering that there are over 25 weeks until the end of the year, that is a lot of free games.
Right now you can still get your free copy of Raw Fury's 2D survival strategy Kingdom: New Lands, but tomorrow you will be able to redeem a copy of Dodge Roll's Enter the Gungeon, a frantic roguelike bullet hell action game. And if you're curious about a list of recently announced upcoming games making their way to the Epic Games Store, here it is. Not all of these titles are Epic Games Store exclusives, though some of them will be. It is worth remembering as well that most Epic exclusives on PC are timed exclusives.
Atomicrops: This is a farming simulation game set in a post-apocalyptic world with a quirky cartoon style. Imagine Stardew Valley meets Fallout. This is an Epic Games Store exclusive title, developed by Bird Bath Games.
Auto Chess: Last month we reported that the Dota Auto Chess mod would morph into two standalone titles, one developed by Valve, and the other developed by the modders themselves, Drodo Studio. So it looks like Drodo turned down Valve's offer and went with Epic Games instead, as they announced on Monday that their new Auto Chess will be an Epic Games Store exclusive title.
Chivalry 2: The sequel to the highly popular first-person slasher inspired by epic medieval battles. One more Epic Games Store exclusive, developed by Torn Banner Studios and published by Tripwire Interactive.
