Epic Games Store Holiday Sale Confirmed for December 17th

With the holidays coming up, Epic Games Store has confirmed the date for its Holiday Sale. It starts on December 17th and promises discounts up to 75 percent, though it remains to be seen if the storefront’s entire catalogue will be included. Perhaps more enticing is that the storefront’s “15 Days of Free Games” offer will return on the same day.

Much like last year, the store will give away a new game every day for the next two weeks. They’ll be free for 24 hours so check back regularly for something that may catch your eye. Until then, however, this week’s two free games are available now with Pillars of Eternity – Definitive Edition and Tyranny – Gold Edition.

Both are computer RPGs developed by Obsidian Entertainment and have met with critical praise. These two editions contain all of the bonus content and downloadable content in addition to the base game. Interestingly enough, a new “mystery game” will unlock in about 6 hours and 20 minutes, which is around the time that The Game Awards starts. Stay tuned for more details on in the meantime.
