It's another Thursday on the Epic Games Store, which means it's another day of reveals and rotations for its free game selection. Unfortunately, this means anyone who missed out on Epic Games Store's addition of The Big Con (April 18-April 25) can no longer claim it. Instead, they'll be able to claim Industria and LISA: Definitive Edition over the next week, and come May 2, they'll rotate out for the newly announced EGS free game: Orcs Must Die 3.
Epic Games Store's addition of Industria and LISA: Definitive Edition will last until Thursday, May 2, at 10 am CT. For the uninitiated, Industria is an atmospheric tightly-knit FPS, giving fans five different weapons to utilize across its compact four hours of gameplay. It is set in Cold War-era East Berlin, around the time of the wall's fall, but there's a twist. Players must discover a dark past and haunting reality while searching for a missing colleague, with a mysterious parallel dimension at play. It's a lot jam-packed into a little, and it might just keep history and FPS fans gripped for the entire runtime.
Epic Games Store: A Comprehensive List Of Every Free Game It's Had To Date
Here's a list of all the games that have been made free on the Epic Games Store. You have until January 15 to get the current free game.
Meanwhile, LISA: Definitive Edition is two games in one, combining LISA: The Painful with its sequel LISA: The Joyful. This quirky side-scrolling RPG sees players struggle to survive in a physically and morally decaying wasteland, where they are forced to make painful choices ranging from being selfless and torn apart or heartless and born to survive. Once these two titles have enjoyed their runtime, they'll be replaced by Orcs Must Die 3.
Orcs Must Die 3 is a strategic action-adventure game where Orcs must die in hordes, either in solo or 2-player co-op play. Players can utilize a variety of traps, weapons, war machines, and more, with the game building on the already impressive arsenals of its predecessors. On top of that, there's a new story, new war scenarios, new challenges, new game modes, and more to enjoy; if anything, Orcs Must Die 3 proves that sometimes the simplest concepts make for great video games.

- Industria (April 25 - May 2)
- LISA: The Definitive Edition (April 25 - May 2)
- Orcs Must Die 3 (May 2 - May 9)
This Epic Games Store selection is interesting because the games couldn't really be more different. While Industria and LISA look to tell deep, profound stories, Orcs Must Die 3 is simple in comparison. At the very least, this should appeal to a variety of Epic Games Store users.
