One thing that you can’t say about the gaming world today is that there is a lack of free things being given away. Between the various subscription services, giveaways and just the random deals that get thrown to us anymore, there exists a sea of free games. One of those outputs is the Epic Games Store, which has given out free titles weekly since its release in 2018. And next week, it’s giving out three.

Apparently, Conan: Exiles was supposed to be part of the free offerings this week as Epic Games announced on their Twitter, but it was ultimately pulled. Because of that we’ll be getting three very distinct games instead next week: Killing Floor 2, The Escapists 2 and Lifeless Planet. The Escapists 2 was also scheduled to come to the store at some point earlier, but did not because of undefined technical issues. Apparently, that has been resolved.

The three games will be available for free on the storefront starting July 9th, replacing the current free title, Hue. Conan: Exiles is said to be coming at later date, but it is not clear whether it will be a free title or not.

The collaborated development between Iceberg Interactive and Tripware Interactive, The Ball, a first person puzzle platformer for the PC- has now rolled out on shelves officially across Western Europe.

Those who want to get a hard- retail- copy of the game, not the Steam version, will be in for a pleasant surprise, since they will also find in the packaging a bonus disc for the game’s soundtrack and a postcard autographed by the entire Teotl team.

We reviewed the game some time ago, and we thought it was as decent game, though its numerous flaws “kept it from being the great game it had the potential of being”. Check out the full review here.
