Alan Wake and For Honor are the next free Epic Games store titles

Alan Wake and For Honor will be the next free titles available from the Epic Games store.

They’ll be free to download for a week beginning at 11am EDT on Friday August 2.

Until then, the current free games are 11 bit studios’ wartime survival title This War of Mine and Digital Sun’s action RPG Moonlighter. They replaced puzzle platformer Limbo earlier today.

The Epic Games store’s weekly free game offer was recently extended to the end of 2019. According to Epic, there had been more than 25 million free game installs as of May 2019.

Alan Wake studio Remedy revealed it had acquired the publishing rights to the series earlier this month. It already owned the IP rights, but it can now publish existing games Alan Wake and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare – both of which were Xbox 360 console exclusives – on other platforms, should it choose to do so.

The studio’s creative director Sam Lake subsequently revealed he’d like to make an Alan Wake sequel.
