Epic Games Store Leaks: First Free Games of 2026 Revealed

Epic Games Store Unveils Last Two Free Titles of Advent Calendar (2026)

Okay, folks, the Epic Games Advent Calendar is drawing to a close. Over the past couple of weeks, PC players have had the chance to snag 17 free gifts, ranging from major titles like Hogwarts Legacy and The Callisto Protocol to cool indie games. While gifts were expected to continue until January 2, 2026, the Epic Games Store has already released the last two free games of the event in one go.

Epic Games Store Kicks Off 2026 with Double Drop: Wildgate & Total War: Three Kingdoms (Free till Jan 8)

To wrap up 2025, Epic chose the Trine collection—four games for the price of one. Then, on Thursday, January 1, 2026, Epic broke with tradition by releasing two free games simultaneously: Wildgate and Total War: Three Kingdoms. Released in the summer of 2025, Wildgate is a well-received multiplayer space shooter that blends exploration, strategy, and extraction. Total War: Three Kingdoms combines management, turn-based gameplay, and real-time battles, where diplomacy is as crucial as military strength. Players interested in these genres can grab both games for free now on the Epic Games Store. With the end of the Advent Calendar, the Epic Games Store will return to its regular schedule of weekly free game releases. The next free title is Bloons TD 6, which many players may already have. This final free game will be available from January 1 to 8, 2026, at the usual time. So, mark your calendars for another drop between those dates.
