by

Summary

  • World War Z: Aftermath may be the Epic Games Store’s free game for February 20.
  • It’s unclear if the enhanced edition of the 2019 shooter will be the only EGS freebie offered next week.
  • Epic is scheduled to announce its February 20 free game(s) on February 13, at 8am PT / 11am ET.

It’s possible that “World War Z: Aftermath” will be the free game offered by the Epic Games Store on February 20th, according to Game Rant. The exact announcement about the upcoming free game is expected soon from Epic.

Over the past few years, since its debut in 2018, the platform for Fortnite has been regularly offering free games every Thursday. Lately, users of the Epic Games Store have had the chance to acquire Beyond Blue, a captivating underwater exploration game developed by E-Line Media, and Humankind, a strategic 4X game from Amplitude Studios.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve got some exciting news! It seems like World War Z: Aftermath might be up for grabs next on the Epic Games Store. If everything stays as planned, you could add this thrilling third-person shooter to your collection as early as February 20, at 8am Pacific Time / 11am Eastern Time / 5pm Central European Time. This giveaway is set to go live right after the F1 Manager 2024 and Luba Free Unlock Bundle for Apex Legends promotions wrap up. Just like before, the offer should last a week, ending on February 27. Keep your fingers crossed!

Epic Games Store Free Games List

  • F1 Manager 2024 (February 13 – 20)
  • Apex Legends: Loba Free Unlock Bundle (February 13 – 20)
  • World War Z: Aftermath (February 20 – 27) [Rumored]

It’s uncertain if World War Z: Aftermath is scheduled to be the sole free offering on the Epic Games Store for February 20th. Occasionally, the store surprises users with free games, such as Humankind on February 6th. But, it’s uncommon for the platform to release two consecutive free games without prior notice. Therefore, if World War Z: Aftermath is indeed a promotion, there might not be any additional unexpected freebies accompanying its launch. Epic will reveal their free game(s) for February 20th at 8am PT / 11am ET later today.

What Is World War Z: Aftermath?

World War Z: Aftermath – Enhanced Edition

In essence, World War Z: Aftermath is an upgraded version of Saber Interactive’s 2019 shooter, World War Z, which hit the shelves in September 2021. The upgrade enriched the original game with three new playable characters, enhanced melee combat, and a first-person perspective, among other additions. The Aftermath expansion also introduced three fresh maps: Kamchatka, Rome, and Marseille.

Later, in January 2023, World War Z: Aftermath received a next-gen update, introducing an extended Horde Mode, aptly named Horde Mode XL, featuring battles against more than 1,000 zombies simultaneously. This content drop was also released for the PC version of the game, specifically, the one distributed via the Epic Games Store.

The game has generally received positive reviews, as evidenced by its 72 average score on OpenCritic.

For the game “World War Z: Aftermath”, which usually sells for $39.99, has been discounted by 50% on the Epic Games Store since February 10. If this shooter is indeed the free game being offered by Epic Games Store on February 20, then the ongoing promotion will end the current sale early. Previously, the original “World War Z” was given away for free on the Epic Games Store between late March and early April 2020.
