Every week, Epic Games Store actively provides free games to gamers, earning its reputation. While the games given away are usually older or indie games, once in a while a popular banger pops up. Case in point, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition and Ghostrunner were available to download for free on EGS last week. This time there’s another popular AAA title on the horizon. Well, allegedly.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy free on Epic Games Store?
According to a leaked list on Reddit, we will be seeing Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy given away on the 4th of January. Despite a few games on the list actually coming out as stated, it’s still wise to take it with a pinch of salt regardless.
Square Enix published Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, an action-adventure game released in 2021 and the second Marvel game in their lineup. Unlike the poorly received Marvel’s Avengers, both critics and gamers embraced Guardians warmly upon its release.
Here’s a brief synopsis of the game:
Fire up a wild ride across the cosmos with a fresh take on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. In this third-person action-adventure game, you are Star-Lord, and thanks to your bold yet questionable leadership, you have persuaded an oddball crew of unlikely heroes to join you. Some jerk (surely not you) has set off a chain of catastrophic events, and only you can hold the unpredictable Guardians together long enough to fight off total interplanetary meltdown. Use Element Blasters, tag-team beat downs, jet boot-powered dropkicks, nothing’s off-limits.
If you think it’s all going to plan, you’re in for a world of surprises, with the consequences of your actions guaranteed to keep the Guardians on their toes. In this original Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy story, you’ll cross paths with powerful new beings and unique takes on iconic characters, all caught in a struggle for the galaxy’s fate. It’s time to show the universe what you’re made of.
You got this. Probably.
The other game that I’m personally excited for is A Plague Tale: Innocence. It is a stealth game developed by Asobo Studio, the same developers who made 2020’s popular Microsoft Flight Simulator. A Plague Tale: Innocence was also released in 2020 and was received positively by the gaming community.
Happy gaming folks!
