Epic Games Store is well known for providing free games, and sometimes, those 100% off deals are just too good to pass up. August 22 will see the addition of hit KRAFTON titleThe Callisto ProtocolandGigantic: Rampage Edition.
The two titles will be available for free between August 22 and August 29 and if you download both of them during this time, you’ll be getting $70 USD worth of content for absolutely free.
The Callisto Protocolinitially released on various platforms back in 2022, and the reviews from players at the timeweren’t favorable. Players were left baffled by the juxtaposition between the spooky atmosphere and clunky combat, which focuses heavily on Melee patterns and combos. Admittedly, if you’re wanting aDead Space-esque, terrifying romp through a futuristic sci-fi horror, then it’s understandable that being forced into close combat with repetitive infected and mutated foes is not going to light your world on fire.
However,The Callisto Protocolhas received various updates and additions since its initial release, with New Game + and Hardcore Mode now included with the base game. There are also DLCs providing more animations and various modes to try out, although they don’t come included as part of the free deal.
If you’re looking for something linear to sink your teeth into, you’re going to save yourself at least $59.99 USD by claimingThe Callisto Protocolduring its stint as one of Epic Games Store freebies of the week, and if you were put off by early reviews, maybe the post-launch updates can win you over.

It’s described as “a premium and definitive release of the originalGIGANTIC, which was released back in 2017. The game usually sells for $19.99 USD, so this is definitely a good deal.
