Epic Games ends the year with 3 free games

Each day, the Epic Games Store has been offering a new title for free as part of the storefront’s 15 days of free games. To conclude 2021, Epic is giving away the complete Tomb Raider Trilogy for free.

Available to purchase for free from now until the 6th of January 2022, those with an Epic Games account can get their hands on 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot; its 2015 sequel Rise of the Tomb raider; and the last entry in the trilogy, 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

The rebooted trilogy took the classic tomb raider formula and improved upon it by featuring a greater focus on combat, stealth, and story – while still keeping to the franchise’s roots of offering interesting platforming and puzzles.

Developed by Crystal Dynamics (with Eidos Montreal stepping in for Shadow of the Tomb Raider) all three games were received well by both fans and critics alike. If you have yet to play these games, they are certainly worth a try.

This is doubly so due to the fact that all three versions being given away are their respective definitive editions. 2013’s Tomb Raider comes with “the Tomb of the Lost Adventurer, 6 single player outfits for Lara and 4 characters”. Rise of the Tomb Raiders 20th Year Celebration Edition includes the game’s Season Pass and all DLC, alongside “an outfit and weapon inspired by Tomb Raider III, and 5 classic Lara skins.”

Finally, Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s Definitive Edition comes with “the base game, all seven DLC challenge tombs, as well as all downloadable weapons, outfits, and skills.”

All three of these titles are available to purchase and download for free from now until the 6th of January 2022, at which point they will be replaced by ‘Gods Will Fall’.

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.
