As the calendar continues its ceaseless onward march, Epic has announced its next batch of weekly Epic Games Store freebies, which this time look very much like Cold War shooter Industria and post-apocalyptic RPG bundle Lisa: Definitive Edition.

With the Epic Games Store's latest weekly freebie offers now live, Epic has turned its gaze to the far-flung future of seven days time, confirming acclaimed cyberpunk action-parkour adventure Ghostrunner will be its next free title from Thursday, 11th April.
Ghostrunner, which launched to much acclaim back in October 2020, cast players as protagonist Jack as they scale the dystopian Dharma Tower — humanity's last shelter following a cataclysmic event — on a quest to topple the tyrannical Keymaster and take their revenge.
What follows is some brutally difficult first-person parkour action, as players leap and bound their way across neon-smeared levels, eliminating enemies in bouts of breathlessly balletic katana swinging. Unless they're terrible at it like me, in which case they'll lumber clumsily around the place, forget which buttons they're supposed to press then quit in a furious rage.
Ghostrunner | Official Pax 2020 Trailer — Pre-order Ghostrunner! Ghostunner trailer.Watch on YouTube«Ghostrunner is a game about acrobatic routines, about devising them and performing them,» Eurogamer's Robert Purchese wrote in his Recommended review back in 2020. «You're an incredibly agile character who can wall-run, slide around, swing around, dash around and even slow time. But you're also an incredibly fragile character who will die in one blow from anything. The challenge of Ghostrunner, therefore, is a kind of elegance: not getting hit while simultaneously getting close enough to hit and slice apart others.»
Ghostrunner is good stuff then (plus its soundtrack is superb) and it'll be free to download and keep via the Epic Games Store for one week starting Thursday, 11th April. That means you've still got plenty of time to download Epic's current freebies, which, if you missed the news last week, look an awful lot like The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition and 2014's Thief reboot.
As the calendar continues its ceaseless onward march, Epic has announced its next batch of weekly Epic Games Store freebies, which this time look very much like Cold War shooter Industria and post-apocalyptic RPG bundle Lisa: Definitive Edition.
The Epic Games Store free games for the week of April 25 to May 2 are Industria and Lisa: The Definitive Edition. Epic Games Store users have new freebies to claim every week. Most of the time, Epic Games Store users are given plenty of advance notice when it comes to what free games they will be able to add to their digital libraries, but there are times when the launcher surprises users with an unexpected freebie.
According to everyone’s favorite dataminer Billbil-kun, the next two free games coming to the Epic Games Store are Industria and Lisa: The Painful Definitive Edition. The titles will be available from April 25 until May 2 and will replace The Big Con and Town of Salem 2.
Next week’s free Epic Games Store titles have seemingly been revealed ahead of an official announcement.
Bethesda's Fallout 4 will be making its debut on the Epic Games Store come April 25. Right now is a great time to be a fan of the Fallout franchise. The Fallout TV series has been a huge hit on Amazon, and Bethesda is capitalizing on this momentum by bringing content to the video games as well, including Fallout 4.
If you've been eying up your teetering games backlog and thinking to yourself, «You know, this games backlog isn't anywhere near teetering enough!», the Epic Games Store has you covered. It's just announced The Big Con and Town of Salem 2 will be its next freebies, from 18th April.

The new free titles on the Epic Games Store have been announced. The Big Con and Town of Salem 2 will replace Ghostrunner and will be available to download from April 18 to April 25.
The wait for Fallout 4’s next-gen update has been longer than expected, but Bethesda has announced that the game will finally be getting its native PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions later this month, on April 25. That, it turns out, will also be accompanied by some notable movement for the game in the PC space.
Another Thursday means another rotation on the Epic Games Store. As of this writing, fans can no longer claim sci-fi RPG The Outer Worlds or stealth game Thief, but they can grab up cyberpunk action performer Ghostrunner. Between the three is a lot of variety in gameplay styles but also a lot of quality, as each is an excellent game with positive reviews (or a cult following in the case of Thief). Once Ghostrunner rotates out on April 18, fans will be able to claim The Big Con.
Epic Games Store is adding several features that should make installing games, shopping, and discovery of new titles easier and better for its users. The Epic Games Store reveal is adding some functionality that users have been clamoring for, as well as some additional benefits.
