Summary

  • The Epic Games Store is giving away Botanicula for free on April 17.
  • Botanicula is a cute adventure game about tree creatures saving their home tree’s last seed.
  • Epic Games Store users will also have free content for Firestone Online Idle RPG to claim on April 17 as well.

This week’s free game on the Epic Games Store, available starting April 17th, is Botanicula. Every Thursday at 10am Central Time, the Epic Games Store offers its newest free games and previews what fans can expect for the following week. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the most recent update on the Epic Games Store.

Last Thursday, the Epic Games Store rolled out some updates, and guess who’s the lucky gamer? Yours truly! They were giving away some sweet deals on games like Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, Arcadegeddon, and even River City Girls for free. It was a gaming bonanza, I tell you!

As if that wasn’t enough, they hinted at some free content coming in Firestone Online Idle RPG from April 17 to April 24. However, no new game for those days was announced back then. But fear not, fellow gamers! The oversight has been addressed, and we now know what exciting free game is lined up for us, starting Thursday, April 17. Can’t wait!

On Thursday, April 17th, the free game offered on Epic Games Store is “Botanicula”, adding to the previously announced free content for “Firestone Online Idle RPG”. This charming adventure game follows a group of tree creatures as they embark on a mission to protect their home tree’s last seed. Originally released in 2012, “Botanicula” finally arrived on the Epic Games Store in 2023 and received mainly positive reviews at the time. Fortunately for users of the Epic Games Store, they can obtain this game free of cost between April 17th and April 24th.

The Epic Games Store will add “Botanicula” to its collection of free mobile games, however, unlike their desktop counterparts, the mobile releases are not revealed ahead of time. So, keep an eye out for updates about future mobile game offers from Epic Games Store. Until then, you can still grab the current freebies before April 17th at 10am CT. At present, they are offering “Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead” and Astarion’s Champions of Renown Pack for “Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms” free of charge on mobile devices. Interestingly, these same freebies are also accessible to PC gamers at this time.

Users of the Epic Games Store typically learn a week ahead of time about upcoming free PC games, but they won’t receive advance notice regarding new mobile games. Consequently, when the game Botanicula becomes available for free on Thursday, April 17, it’s expected that users will discover what the Epic Games Store has planned as its free offerings for April 24 in the coming days.
