On February 10 we learned that Epic Games Store has added the new free game and you can sign in now and add it to your library, and they have also revealed what game will be coming to the service next week on February 17.
The previous free game on Epic Games Store was Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, which has now been changed with Windbound, it's a survival game in which the players have to craft tools and ships if they want to survive. Upon its release the game earned mix reviews from the players, but as long as its free on the service, its not gonna hurt anybody to just try out the game and decide for themselves if they like it or not.
Even though Windbound, which is available on Epic Games Store for free since February 10. The next game coming to the store has earned critical acclaim as well as love from many players. The next game which will be coming to Epic Games Store for free on Thursday, February 17 is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The award-winning game will be available on the store from February 17 to February 24.
Developed by Starbreeze Studios and directed by Josef Fares, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is one of the early works by Fares, who after making the game went on to found Hazelight Studios, from which he directed A Way Out and It Takes Two, with the latter winning Game Award for Game of the Year in 2021. So, there is a very big chance that the fans of Fares' work will enjoy the Epic Games Store upcoming free offering.
Brother: A Tale of Two Sons is a bit different from other Fares' games as in it doesn't have co-op support (it does have co-op support on the Switch version, but the players playing on PC through Epic Games Store will have to do without it), and the story needs two of the characters working in harmony together to solve the puzzle and advance in the game.
Brother: A Tale of Two Sons will be available on Epic Games Store on Thursday, February 17.
