Two new games have been confirmed for the ongoing Epic Games Store giveaway.
From May 12 to May 19, both Prey and Jotun: Valhalla Edition will be available to download and keep.
Prey is an action/adventure first-person shooter developed Arkane Studios and released via Bethesda.
“In Prey, you awaken aboard Talos I, a space station orbiting the moon in the year 2032. You are the key subject of an experiment meant to alter humanity forever – but things have gone terribly wrong,” reads the listing. Prey currently costs £34.99.
Action puzzler Jotun: Valhalla Edition was created by Thunder Lotus and is a “hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology,” according to the description. “In Jotun, you play Thora, a Viking warrior who died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the Gods to enter Valhalla. Impress the Gods!”
These games replace Asmodee Digital’s Terraforming Mars, which is currently free to download until May 12.

“Epic and Bandcamp share a mission of building the most artist friendly platform that enables creators to keep the majority of their hard-earned money. Bandcamp will play an important role in Epic’s vision to build out a creator marketplace ecosystem for content, technology, games, art, music and more.”
