That’s all assuming the leaks are accurate, of course. It’s entirely possible that the next Epic Games Store free mystery game will be something completely different, and so fans should brace themselves for that possibility. It’s easy to believe the leaks because Epic Games Store free mystery game plans have always leaked in the past, and so it seems likely that the same will hold true for the 2024 offerings. Regardless, Epic Games Store users shouldn’t get their hopes up that Vampire Survivors is the next free game. Luckily, the wait to find out won’t be a long one, as the next Epic Games Store free mystery game will be revealed at 10:00am CST on Thursday, December 19.
That being said, making Vampire Survivors free on the Epic Games Store could be a smart strategic move. Vampire Survivors has plenty of excellent paid DLC on sale that newcomers could be tempted to buy, including crossovers with franchises like Castlevania and Contra. So, while Vampire Survivors would potentially lose out on direct game sales through the Epic Games Store giveaway, DLC sales could more than make up for it.
