Get Hooked on Epic Games Store’s Freebies: Arcadegeddon and Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms

by

During the spring promotion, the Epic Games Store added a twist to its weekly free games by providing two weeks worth of secret titles to spice things up a bit. While it might seem unusual to find only three games listed as hidden gems on the free games section, fans of video games and cats were in for a treat. Cat Quest, Cat Quest 2, and Neko Ghost, Jump! were made available to all users who claimed them before their rotation ended. Cat Quest 2 remains accessible on the Epic Games Store until April 10, allowing those who already have its predecessor a chance to continue their journey. After that, Arcadegeddon and Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, from Dungeons & Dragons, will be presenting their own surprises.

Epic Games Store Free Games Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms and Arcadegeddon Explained

As a passionate gamer, I’ve got some exciting news about the freebies for the week of April 10! Contrary to what you might think, these aren’t just free games. Instead, the Epic Games Store is offering limited-time items from two fantastic free-to-play titles – Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms and Arcadegeddon. These goodies are available to both new players joining the fun and those who are already on board!

The Epic Games Store often secures these live-service bundles for its free games promotion. A recent example was the Apex Legends Loba unlock pack, which they gave away on February 13. These titles get a chance to really stand out with these rare goodies, attracting both new and seasoned players who decide to add them to their libraries.

Arcadegeddon Players Can Get a Premium Currency Boost

Back in 2021, some gamers might recall “Arcadegeddon” as a new release. This multiplayer first-person shooter game incorporates roguelike elements by letting players customize their characters using hacked items they acquire while battling to safeguard an arcade from harmful viruses from corporations. Initially exclusive to the Epic Games Store, Illfonic Studios quickly made it available on Steam afterward. More recently, “Arcadegeddon” has been re-released as a free-to-play game, and players who download it via Epic Games will receive 5,000 Arcoins as a starting bonus to spend at their discretion. Based on its store page, fans can anticipate endless action while also appreciating the game’s user-friendly mechanics and engaging gameplay.

Dungeons & Dragons Fans Can Jump into Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms For Incredible Freebies

Alongside Arcade Heaven, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is inviting players to log in or join the game by offering a wealth of beneficial items. This one-of-a-kind strategy management game combines numerous locations, characters, and creatures from various Dungeons & Dragons media into a single immersive experience. For a limited period, exclusively on the Epic Games Store, players will be able to obtain the Astarion’s Champions of Renown pack starting April 11 when they log in. This pack allows players to embark on a new adventure with Karlach, Astarion, Tuxedo Kalix, and numerous useful items without worrying about how long it might take to earn them originally. As per the Forgotten Realms’ list of freebies, the Astarion-themed bundle is estimated to be worth over $100 in-game value. All the items that players can claim for free are listed below.

  • Champions: Artemis, Karlach, Kalix, Astarion, The Dark Urge
  • Skin: Tuxedo Kalix
  • Familiar: Rumble the Angry Flumph
  • Champion Chests for each free Champion
  • Potions that boost gem and gold hunting for two weeks

It’s understandable that games like “Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms” and “Arcadegeddon” might not appeal to everyone. Although fans of “Baldur’s Gate 3” or multiplayer shooters may find them appealing, others might feel like they’re passing up on their usual weekly free game. Fear not, as there’s always next week with new and potentially more intriguing games in store for those who feel the current selection isn’t quite hitting the spot. Keep an eye out every Thursday at 10 AM CT when the rotation occurs and the storefront reveals what’s coming up next.
