The Callisto Protocol will be an Epic Games Store freebie between August 22 and 29

Epic Games Store is well known for providing free games, and sometimes, those 100% off deals are just too good to pass up. August 22 will see the addition of hit KRAFTON title The Callisto Protocol and Gigantic: Rampage Edition. The two titles will be available for free between August 22 and August 29 and if you download both of them during this time, you’ll be getting $70 USD worth of content for absolutely free.Image via KRAFTONThe Callisto Protocol initially released on various platforms back in 2022, and the reviews from players at the time weren't favorable. Players were left baffled by the juxtaposition between the spooky atmosphere and clunky combat, which focuses heavily on Melee patterns and combos. Admittedly, if you're wanting a Dead Space-esque, terrifying romp through a futuristic sci-fi horror, then it's understandable that being forced into close combat with repetitive infected and mutated foes is not going to light your world on fire.However, The Callisto Protocol has received various updates and additions since its initial release, with New Game + and Hardcore Mode now included with the base game. There are also DLCs providing more animations and various modes to try out, although they don't come included as part of the free deal.If you're looking for something linear to sink your teeth into, you're going to save yourself at least $59.99 USD by claiming The Callisto Protocol during its stint as one of Epic Games Store freebies of the week, and if you were put off by early reviews, maybe the post-launch updates can win you over.Image via Arc Games Gigantic: Rampage Edition is a 5 vs 5 Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) developed by Arc Games and released in April 2024. It’s described as “a premium and definitive release of the original GIGANTIC, which was released back in 2017. The game usually sells for $19.99 USD, so this is definitely a good deal.In Gigantic: Rampage Edition, you get to choose your own unique (and sometimes adorable) hero and team up with four other players to take down your opponent's Guardian. The Rampage Edition includes everything from the original 2017 release, plus different game modes, cross platform play, new heroes including Roland and Kajir, new maps like Picaro Bay and a whole lot more.The post The Callisto Protocol will be an Epic Games Store freebie between August 22 and 29 appeared first on Destructoid.
