The excitement doesn’t end there, as four more free games are part of this holiday promotion, promising a variety of thrills for every gamer.

As part of its festive giveaway, the Epic Games Store has named Orcs Must Die! 3 as its 12th free mystery game.

Up until now, Control was the only repeat title in this seasonal giveaway from the Epic Games Store.
