Epic's Next Free Mystery Game Might Be Marvel's Midnight Suns
Hold onto your hats, Marvel fans! Epic Games Store just revealed their free game for this week, but rumors are already swirling about what next week's mystery title might be.
This week, Epic is offering a free hack-and-slash game (check out our previous article for details). But according to reliable leaker billbil_kun, next week could see Epic venturing into the Marvel Universe with Marvel's Midnight Suns .
Midnight Suns is a tactical card game featuring an original hero called The Hunter teaming up with iconic characters like Wolverine, Iron Man, and Captain America to take down the demonic Lilith. It boasts an 83/100 average score on Metacritic for the PC version, making it the highest-rated version across all platforms.
While Epic hasn't officially confirmed this rumor, the timing is interesting. Both Steam and the Epic Games Store are currently offering Midnight Suns at a discounted price of $14.99 (a 75% saving), with the discount ending on June 13th on the Epic Store (June 6th on Steam).
This could just be a coincidence, but it also suggests a potential partnership between Epic and the game's developers, Firaxis Games.
We'll have to wait until next week to know for sure, but if you're a Marvel fan and haven't tried Midnight Suns yet, this rumor might be a good reason to hold off on grabbing it at a discount this week.
