by

Summary

  • The Epic Games Store‘s latest free mystery game is 2019’s Control, available until December 26.
  • The free game lineup this year has included highly-rated games, continuing the store’s strong momentum.
  • Control was previously free on the Epic Games Store in 2021.

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the Epic Games Store has been consistently delivering some top-notch titles this year. The latest addition to their free mystery game lineup, Control, is no exception. I remember playing it back in 2021, and it’s a joy to see it return for those who missed out on the initial giveaway.

This month on the Epic Games Store, the eighth free game in the mystery series is the 2019 release, Control. Every December, users of the Epic Games Store look forward to their largest free game promotion. This annual event provides an opportunity for users to obtain a diverse selection of free games for their digital libraries as a festive gesture and countdown to the New Year.

2021 saw the commencement of the Epic Games Store’s free mystery game promotion, starting with “The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria” and continuing with “Vampire Survivors”, “Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles”, “TerraTech”, “Wizard of Legend”, “Dark and Darker – Legendary Status”, and the spooky fishing game “Dredge”. However, “Dredge” has been removed from the Epic Games Store’s free games collection and replaced by the most recent addition to the lineup.

On December 25th, the free game offered by the Epic Games Store is none other than “Control”. Released in 2019 by Remedy Entertainment, “Control” is a highly-acclaimed third-person shooter that contributes to the larger Remedy gaming universe. Upon its release, “Control’s” thrilling gameplay garnered much praise, with many hailing it as one of the studio’s finest works. Epic Games Store users can currently grab “Control” for free until December 26th at 10:00am CST (or apparently 11:00am CST according to the launcher right now, but that seems to be an error based on the countdown to the next free game). After this date, “Control” will no longer be available in the Epic Games Store’s roster of free games and a new title will take its place.

Although plenty of fans will undoubtedly rejoice at being able to acquire the game Control without charge, there could be some loyal users of the Epic Games Store who might feel disheartened. Users who have been diligent about claiming every free title that the platform has offered previously will already own Control. Indeed, Control was one of the complimentary games available on the Epic Games Store in 2021. However, while this may be a second chance for some long-time users of the Epic Games Store, it’s fantastic news for those who missed out on the original giveaway.

The freedom to control (play) “Control” on the Epic Games Store maintains the impressive pace of this year’s Free Mystery Game Event. A large number of the free mystery games offered by the Epic Games Store this year have received either critical acclaim or high user ratings, with “Control” being one such game that enjoys both. The Epic Games Store Free Mystery Game Promotion is undeniably successful, and it will be exciting to discover what future free games have in store for us.
