Epic Games Store Holiday Giveaway: A Treat for Gamers
As the year draws to a close, the Epic Games Store continues its tradition of generosity by giving away games during the festive season. For many years now, Epic has delighted gamers with a new title available for free every 24 hours during the holidays. This year, 2025 was no different, and now that we’ve stepped into 2026, it’s time to claim the last offerings of the holiday giveaway.
The Final Free Games: Total War: Three Kingdoms and Wildgate
From now until January 8, 2026, players can add two titles to their libraries: Total War: Three Kingdoms and Wildgate. Both games offer distinct experiences, appealing to different segments of the gaming community.
Wildgate: A Unique PvPvE Shooter
Wildgate, developed by Moonshot Games and published by Dreamhaven, offers a fresh take on the multiplayer shooter genre. Released in July 2025, it combines first-person shooting mechanics with ship-to-ship combat set in a beautifully crafted space environment. Often likened to Sea of Thieves but in space, Wildgate invites players into a PvPvE (Player vs. Player vs. Environment) scenario, granting them the opportunity to team up against other players or challenge the environment.
The game encourages exploration and teamwork while offering a break from traditional live-service shooters. Gamers can jump into the action without feeling pressured to stay connected continuously. If you’ve ever wanted to sail the starry seas—albeit in a more cosmic setting—this could be the game for you.
Total War: Three Kingdoms: A Strategy Enthusiast’s Dream
On the flip side, we have Total War: Three Kingdoms, the latest entry in the renowned Total War series developed by Creative Assembly and published by SEGA. Known for its meticulous blend of real-time tactics and turn-based strategy, this game dives deep into the historical context of ancient China during the Romance of the Three Kingdoms period.
Three Kingdoms stands out for its engaging gameplay mechanics, detailed unit designs, and rich storytelling, drawing praise from both critics and fans. While it may not cater to everyone’s gaming style, history buffs and strategy enthusiasts will find much to love in its depth and complexity. Players can explore the intricate relationships between various factions, engage in epic battles, and develop their strategies to emerge victorious.
How to Claim Your Free Titles
Both Wildgate and Total War: Three Kingdoms are available to claim until January 8. If you’re looking to add some quality games to your collection without spending a dime, now is the time to act. Simply visit the Epic Games Store, click on the titles, and add them to your library.
Upcoming Offerings and What to Expect
As the holiday giveaway wraps up, it’s important to note that once the promotion ends on January 8, these titles will be replaced by the classic tower defense game Bloons TD6. This transition means that fans of strategy and fun arcade-style gameplay can look forward to another great addition to the Epic Games Store for free.
