December is the time to give happiness, and Epic Games, the developers and publishers for Fortnite, are gearing up for it on Epic Games Store. That seems to be the case as per the rumor mill.
In a recent leak, it was stated that Epic Games will give away 14 free games for free on their Epic Games Store.
The first game is said to be the Open World Action-Adventure game, Shenmue 3, made by Yu Suzuki and Ys Net. Shenmue 3 was originally released as a timed exclusive game for the Epic Games Store in 2019.
Everything about Epic Games Store's rumored free games offering
According to the leak, which was done by user Billbil-Kun on Dealabs.com, players will be receiving fourteen free games on the Epic Games Store as per the holiday season giveaway. The first round should start on 16 December 2021 and will continue until 2 January 2022.
Dealabs does the PlayStation Plus game leak every month, so this rumor could hold some credence. Apart from the dates, they also mentioned that the first game to be given away during this period would be Shenmue 3, which was an Epic Games Store exclusive back in 2019.
They didn't, however, reveal the whole list. Having said that, dates alluding to all of the major games have been marked.
The full list by Billbil-Kun follows:
- 16 December 2021 to 17 December 2021 at 4.59 pm: Shenmue III

- From 25 December 2021, at 5.00pm to 26 December 2021, at 4.59pm (The best of the selection in my opinion):
- From 26 December 2021, at 5.00pm to 27 December 2021, at 4.59pm:
- From 27 December 2021, at 5.00pm to 28 December 2021, at 4.59pm:

- From 30 December 2021, at 5.00pm to 6 January 2022, at 4.59pm:
It would come as no surprise if the dates and leaks did indeed turn out to be true, as the Epic Games Store did offer free games last year.
The upcoming free game on the Store is rumored to be a mystery title and will be replacing this week’s releases Godfall: Champion Edition and Prison Architect. With that being said, one can only wait and see the free game offerings for this year.
