Epic Games Store is set to announce its next free weekly game this Thursday, continuing a strategy that’s become a major draw for PC gamers. A potential schedule of offerings for the remainder of December has begun circulating online, promising a range of titles from indie hits to potentially major releases like Red Dead Redemption 2. Though, the list’s authenticity is currently unconfirmed and contains several inconsistencies, prompting caution among gamers eager to claim the freebies.
Epic Games has announced it will reveal a new free game this Thursday, December 18th, at 5:00 PM Polish time. The games will be available for claim for only 24 hours.

A potential list of titles has surfaced online, originating from Chinese social media, promising a mix of popular and independent games.
According to the leak, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is slated to be the first free offering. Desperados 3, Total War: Warhammer, and Tropico 5 are reportedly scheduled to follow. The list also includes larger titles such as Detroit: Become Human, Mortal Kombat 11, and even Red Dead Redemption 2, allegedly planned for release on New Year’s Eve.
However, skepticism surrounds the authenticity of the leaked list. Several inconsistencies suggest the information may be inaccurate. The leak fails to specify which version of LEGO Batman will be available, and a title listed as “Commander Keane” does not appear to exist – it may be a reference to the 1990 game, Commander Keen. Furthermore, the selection of games between December 24th and 26th appears less substantial than previous years’ holiday giveaways, which have included titles like Control, Ghostrunner 2, Ghostwire: Tokyo, The Outer Worlds, and Death Stranding.
The list is being circulated due to its widespread online presence, but it should be treated with caution. While some of the games may eventually be offered by Epic Games Store, the leak should be considered unconfirmed speculation.
