Scroll away! Savings of up to 75% await!”
During its Mega Sale last year, the Epic Games Store gave away four games. The first was Dragon Age Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition, followed by Farming Simulator 22. Next was Chivalry 2, and the promotion concluded with Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
This year’s giveaway includes Dead Island 2, Happy Game, and three other mystery games that have yet to be revealed.
