Free This Friday: Grab Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel on Epic Games Store

Epic Games Store Offers Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel for Free. Download Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel for free on the Epic Games Store for 24 hours, starting December 18, 2025, at 11 AM EST. This giveaway is part of Epic's holiday promotion, which includes their regular weekly free game. Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel, which launched fully this fall after an early access period, blends roguelike and horde survivor genres inspired by Norse mythology. Each character has unique skills and weapons. The single-player action game has received positive reviews, with a "Very Positive" rating on Steam and a 4.5 rating on the Epic store. The game received a recent content update that added a new realm, a spider boss, challenges, and modifiers. Players have noted visual similarities to Diablo IV and Vampire Survivors.

Epic's Holiday Tradition Continues: Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel for Free Tomorrow!

Epic typically reveals games a week in advance, but this time, the store featured a wrapped holiday present image, keeping the title a mystery. In the two weeks leading up to the new year last year, Epic gave away over a dozen games, including Dredge, Control, and Sifu. Given that Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is free for only 24 hours, it is likely that Epic will continue its holiday tradition of one free game per day for the next two weeks. Download the game for free via this link; once downloaded, it will remain permanently in your library. Note: This text does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Uai Portal.
