Next week’s free Epic Games Store title has leaked

Next week’s free Epic Games Store title has seemingly leaked ahead of an official announcement on Thursday.

According to highly reliable dataminer billbil-kun, minimalist platformer Love will be free to claim from Epic’s PC marketplace from January 18-25.

Released on Steam in 2014 before coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox more recently, Love is the first in a series of games from independent developer Fred Wood.

“Love is a short and addictively challenging platformer with a minimalist design,” according to its official website. “It has a custom respawn system, 16 levels, 12 track original soundtrack, competitive scoring, and multiple ways to play.

“The difficult levels are balanced with the inclusion of a simple yet unique respawn system wherein the player can leave a checkpoint at any location at any point, as long as they are on solid ground.”

Guardians of the Galaxy is currently free to claim from the Epic Games Store until 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST today.

It will then be replaced by Sail Forth, which lets players navigate “a fleet of customizable ships across an ocean whose ancient depths have swallowed the key to the mysterious past”.
