The Epic Games Store’s latest free game has been revealed

The Epic Games Store’s latest free title has been revealed.

Melvor Idle, from developer Games by Malcs and publisher Jagex, is now free to claim until December 22 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm GMT, when it will be replaced by another mystery giveaway.

“Inspired by RuneScape, Melvor Idle takes the core of what makes an adventure game so addictive and strips it down to its purest form,” reads an official description of the game.

“This is a feature-rich, idle/incremental game combining a distinctly familiar feel with a fresh gameplay experience. Maxing 20+ skills has never been more zen.”

The Epic Games Store, which usually gives away one or two free titles each week, will reportedly offer 17 free games over the Christmas period.

It’s ongoing Holiday Sale also includes major discounts on some of this year’s biggest games, including Alan Wake 2 for $27 / £21.50, EA Sports FC 24 for $19 / £16, Hogwarts Legacy for $24 / £20, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage for $23 / £21.

GOG is giving away five free games as part of its Winter Sale too.
