Summary
- Limited-time offer: claim LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for free on Epic Games Store before December 12.
- Free games on the Epic Games Store show the benefit of being a patient gamer.
Gamers can currently grab LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for free on the Epic Games Store, but time is running out. This limited-time offer expires on December 12, meaning gamers need to act fast to secure LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for free permanently.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was an interesting change of pace for the LEGO video games. Previous LEGO Star Wars games had a tried and tested formula, allowing players to play through the movies, level by level. The Skywalker Saga introduced an open world, allowing players to explore the entire galaxy without having to commit to a specific Episode. While it wasn't for every gamer, critical response to the game was generally positive, and the game currently holds "Very Positive" reviews on Steam, indicating fan approval of the gameplay overhaul.
LEGO's Leaked James Bond Game Explained
Fans have long spoken about a scrapped Traveler's Tales LEGO James Bond game, and some new information has finally come to light.
Right now, the Epic Games Store is currently offering LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for free. This isn't a free weekend, either - it's free to keep, although gamers only have until December 12 to claim it, so any interested potential players should act fast before it's gone. This deal only includes the base game, which is one of the best Star Wars titles on the market. The game also has various character packs available for purchase from the TV shows and spin-off movies, although these aren't free, unfortunately.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is Free On Epic Games Store Until December 12
This is a great example of why it often pays off to be a patient gamer. Epic Games Store frequently offers free games for gamers to pick up, and it's sometimes worth waiting to see if a title goes on there in its regular rotation. That said, it's strange to see LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga on there just two years after its launch. There are certainly no complaints, though. With the amount of content on offer here, it's well worth trying, even for non-Star Wars fans who have never seen the movies or played previous LEGO titles.
Given that some LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga reviews called this the best compilation depicting the popular film franchise to date, Traveller's Tales is in a slightly awkward spot going forward. Until more Star Wars movies are released, it's difficult to see how there can be more LEGO Star Wars games, given it has already produced the definitive versions of the nine mainline movies. Something akin to 2011's LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars is always possible, and it'll be interesting to see what happens with the series going forward.
