Epic Games quietly changes the next free game – now fans can grab an 84-rated classic

EPIC Games gives away free games every week, but the quality of the games differs hugely from week to week.

This week Epic Games was going to give away The Bridge, a successful indie game that scored a respectable 78 rating on review aggregate site Metacritic.

Gamers were already pleased with the offering, but Epic Games has exceeded their expectations.

Instead of offering The Bridge this week, the Epic Games Store has changed the next free game to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

It was developed by Eidos-Montréal, a studio known not only for the Deus Ex series but also for Shadow of the Tomb Raider and various Marvel games.

Deus Ex is one of the series that popularised the immersive sim genre, and it has become a classic must-play game.

The blurb for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided reads: “The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society.

“Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. 

“Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.”

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an excellent 84-rated game, and has maintained its popularity over the years.

PC gamers will be able to grab Deus Ex from Thursday, March 14, 2024, until Thursday, March 21, 2024.

The games change over at 4pm UK time / 12pm (noon) ET, when there will be a new free game up for grabs.
