Every Thursday, theEpic Games Storeunlocks a new game for users to have entirely for free. This week is no different than any other, asEpic Games Storeusers can pick up the popular ARPGTorchlight 2. It’s available to get right now and will remain available through July 23 at 8:00 am.
Torchlight 2is a classic ARPG heavily inspired by theDiablofranchise. The originalTorchlightwas released in 2009 and was well-received, but lacked multiplayer due to development limitations.Torchlight 2delivered the full experience that ARPG fans desired, with full online cooperative multiplayer. It isn’t a radically different experience than other ARPGs likeDiablo, but it delivers a competent modern version of the genre and that’s all that many players were looking for.
As per usual, Epic has also revealed the next free offering that store users can look forward to. In a week’s time, two new free games will be unlocked for Epic Games Store users. those two games areNext Up HeroandTacoma, which will be available for free from July 23 through July 30.
Next Up Herois an isometric dungeon crawler that can be played cooperatively with a friend. Players pick one of the game’s many heroes and dungeon crawl to gather loot and unlock progression.Tacomais the follow-up toFullbright’s 2013 hitGone Home. It too is a calm adventure game focusing on exploration and narrative, but this time set in a mysterious space station.
Weekly free games on the Epic Games Store appears to beEpic’s continued plan for the foreseeable future. In 2019, Epic had announced that it planned to stop putting out weekly free games, only to change its mind. Apparently giving out free games works pretty well for getting new users onto the platform.Epic Games Storeusers certainly aren’t complaining.
