The Long Dark is free to claim on the Epic Games Store

the long dark epic games

Epic Games Store is giving away a free game daily for the next 15 days to celebrate the Holiday Season and today on Day 3 of the giveaway the third game on the list to claim for free is “The Long Dark”.

Developed by Hinterland Studios, The Long Dark is a survival experience game. You’re a pilot lost in the Canadian wilderness after he crash-landed his plane after a geomagnetic regional storm disaster hit his plane. Players are forced to fend alone against the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

How to get The Long Dark on Epic Games

The Long Dark can be claimed for free for the next 24 hours until the next freebie is rotated in on December 20, at 8:00 PST / 11:00 EST / 16:00 GMT, starting Day 4th of the giveaway event. Also to note, claiming any of these games will get you a $10 voucher for any game valued above $14.99 in the ongoing holiday sale.

The coupon can be applied to every game on the store, meaning newly launched titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla can be bought 10$ cheaper than their ongoing price.
