The Epic Games Store’s next free titles have been announced.

Frictional Games’ horror title Amnesia: Rebirth, and Cococucumber’s couch co-op adventure game Riverbond, will be free to download from Epic’s marketplace from April 21-28.

They will take the place of XCOM 2 and Insurmountable, both of which are currently free until April 21.

The Epic Games Store gave away 89 free titles last year (down from 103 in 2020), with a combined worth of $2,120.

According to Epic, which released Unreal Engine 5 last week, users claimed over 765 million free games in 2021.

Sony recently invested an additional $1 billion in Epic, which announced the completion of a new funding round on Monday.
