Summary
- Epic Games Store has teased a Star Wars free game giveaway.
- Fans speculate that a newer Star Wars game may be part of the promotion.
- The game is being given away to celebrate Star Wars Day.
Epic Games Store has teased its upcoming free game in a way that gives an obvious nod to the Star Wars franchise. This intriguing update comes right ahead of Star Wars Day on May 4, which is an annual affair celebrated by Star Wars fans.
Since 2019, Epic Games Store has consistently given away games for free, usually on a weekly basis. Owing to that, patrons have amassed gigantic libraries filled with a wide variety of titles, ranging from indie hits such as Inside and Dread to some of the most popular AAA games such as GTA 5 and Death Stranding. With Star Wars Day fast approaching, there are whispers that another major release could make its way onto the PC game storefront as a freebie in the coming days. This speculation isn't something pulled out of thin air but is based on a recent tease shared by Epic Games Store on social media.
Star Wars Zero Company Could Be One of the Series' Most Well-Rounded Games Yet
Bit Reactor is teasing details about Star Wars Zero Company, and the small details in the title could distinguish it from the pack of Star Wars games.
In a new post, Epic Games Store teased a free game in typical Star Wars fashion. The phrasing of its announcement took clear inspiration from the iconic Star Wars quote, "May the Force be with you," whereas the accompanying image depicted a star-studded space background with the text "Coming Soon." The digital service also shared that more about the same would be revealed in the near future. It's important to note that this cryptic tease comes just in time for Star Wars Day on Sunday, May 4. Due to this, many people have been speculating about a possible giveaway of a Star Wars game coming in the next few days. In the replies on social media, fans have chimed in with their predictions, which cover a broad spectrum of titles, from the classic 2003 game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to the newer Star Wars Outlaws from 2024.
Epic Games Store Hints at a Star Wars Game Giveaway Coming Soon
Judging by the signs, it looks highly likely that a Star Wars game could go free on Epic Games Store to mark the occasion for Star Wars Day. In case that happens, it won't be the first time a game from the sci-fi IP has been given away by the Epic Games Store since titles such as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Star Wars Battlefront 2 have been up for grabs for free in the past. However, those games went free off-season—in other words, they were given away far from the date of Star Wars Day. With the latest free game apparently coming close to the big day, there are chances that it could be a newer Star Wars title instead of an older pick from the franchise's games catalog.
Apart from Epic Games Store, Steam is also doing its own thing in preparation for Star Wars Day. It revolves around a themed promotion that will bring discounts on various Star Wars games available on Valve's platform, including a 50% price drop for Star Wars Outlaws. The sale is active at the time of writing and will run until May 5, 2025.
