FREE GAMES manhkbrady - Mar 14, 2025, 08:00

It's time to pick up another free game from the Epic Games Store. PC gamers can now obtain a copy of Mortal Shell to keep as part of this week's promotion, replacing the Them's Fightin' Herds freebie from last week. As usual, you have seven days to permanently add the latest game to your library.

This marks Mortal Shell's second time being featured as a free game on the Epic Games Store, so don't be surprised if you already have it in your library.

Created by Cold Symmetry and launched in 2020, the game delivers a Soulslike experience with demanding combat, which requires strategic planning even for the simplest foes. A hardening mechanic allows you to negate damage temporarily during combos, providing various counterattack options alongside the standard hit and dodge mechanics typical of this genre.

The game features a distinctive mechanic involving "Shells," which are different fallen warriors that players can inhabit within the world to unlock diverse play styles. Although it wasn't as well-received as some other entries in the Soulslike category, it has cultivated a following over the years and has received multiple expansions.

To enhance this week further, Mortal Shell isn't the only freebie available from the Epic Store. Additionally, a complimentary content pack for World of Warships, titled the “Anniversary Party Favor,” is also available for free download. This add-on provides free credits, XP, a new cruiser, and more for World of Warships players. While it may not be a second free game, it certainly adds extra value to this week's EGS giveaways.

The new Mortal Shell promotion is currently live on the Epic Games Store. The game normally sells for $29.99, but it's free for all PC gamers for the next week. This giveaway will be available until March 20, which is also when another free game will be introduced.
