Epic Games Store: New Year’s Eve Brings Final Free Title – Chivalry 2

Leading up to Christmas 2025, the Epic Games Store offered its annual selection of free games, a highly anticipated event where the platform distributes complimentary titles to its users. As in previous years, the 2025 edition featured prominent games across various genres, including Hogwarts Legacy, The Callisto Protocol, and Disco Elysium, continuing Epic Games’ tradition of releasing major titles on significant dates. With the Christmas giveaway concluded, fans are now speculating about what surprise Epic Games has planned for New Year’s Eve. With the Daily Free Games promotion nearing its end and only a few days left in the Advent Calendar event, players have a limited opportunity to claim free titles. Epic Games is concluding its free game offerings for 2025 with Chivalry 2. Chivalry 2 combines brutal medieval combat, gripping chaos, and camaraderie. This multiplayer title immerses players in massive battles where swords clash and armor reverberates. Players choose a class and participate in sieges, large-scale battles, and bloody showdowns, utilizing a variety of weapons. While Chivalry 2 may not appeal to everyone, as it has been offered for free previously, it marks the end of Epic Games’ free game releases for the year.

Chivalry 2 is available from December 31st at 5 PM until January 1st, when it will be replaced by a New Year’s gift. Details on the New Year’s gift are forthcoming and will be updated as soon as more information is released.
