Control is free on the Epic Games Store for a limited time

As has been the case for the past few Christmas seasons, the final weeks of the year sees the Epic Games Store give away a different title for free every 24 hours. Right now, all those with an Epic Games account can get their hands on the excellent and unique 3rd person action-adventure shooter Control.

Available to add to your library from now until 4PM UK time, Control is the latest original game to come from the much-loved Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment, known for hits such as the Alan Wake series and the original Max Payne duology.

Originally released in 2019, Control took the best elements from Remedy’s past and combined it into an action-adventure title with a unique explorable world, fun and interesting gameplay, and an impressive physics system.

While Epic is only giving away the base game, its DLC ties into Remedy's other IPs including Alan Wake. Given the recent release of Alan Wake II – and the fact that Control is set to get a sequel – those who have not tried out the game yet now have the opportunity to do so for free.

If you did want to check out Control’s DLC after-the-fact, the Season Pass can currently be had for just £3.59. As mentioned, you have less than 24 hours to claim the base game, at which point it will be replaced by another as-of-yet-unknown title.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
