Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is free to claim on PC until next week

Since launch, the Epic Games Store has persuaded customers over to its platform with two free games a week. This deal couldn't last forever though. Epic will still be giving away free games on its platform but it looks like one free game a week is going to be the new standard. This week's free game is now available to claim – Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. 

Homeworld might not be the biggest RTS in the world but it certainly has a fan base. For years, Homeworld 3 has been in the works and the game is finally set to arrive in 2024. In the meantime, you can claim Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak for free on the Epic Games Store and begin diving into this world.

While the other Homeworld games typically have you commanding spaceships, Deserts of Kharak is a ground-based RTS and also serves as a prequel to the main Homeworld games. It is more modern than the older Homeworld games too, having been released in 2016.

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is free to claim on the Epic Games Store until the 31st of August at 4PM. At that point, it will be replaced by next week's free game – Cave Story+.

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.
