Epic Games Store Mystery Games Today: Two Massive Games Coming for Free (Jan 1, 2026)

The wait is almost over! Today, January 1, 2026, marks the grand finale of the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale. To celebrate the New Year, Epic is giving away two mystery games for free instead of just one.

🚨 Last Chance: Claim Yesterday’s Free Game Now!

Before we look at today’s reveal, there is one very important thing you need to do. Yesterday's free game, Chivalry 2, is still available to claim—but only for a few more hours!

• Deadline: You must claim Chivalry 2 before 9:30 PM (Sri Lanka Time) today.

• Why claim it? It is one of the best medieval multiplayer combat games ever made. Once 9:30 PM hits, this offer will vanish forever to make way for the new mystery gifts.

Don't Miss: While waiting for the free games, check out the latest news on GTA 6's reported delay to November 2026.

The Hints: What is Hidden Behind Today's Wrapper?

Every day, Epic Games provides a "Hint" through the wrapping paper design of the mystery gift. For today’s double giveaway (Jan 1), gamers have spotted two distinct patterns:

1. The First Hint: Icons representing "Target sights" and "Skulls." This strongly suggests an Extraction Shooter or a Horror FPS. Reliable leakers suggest it could be Hunt: Showdown.

2. The Second Hint: Ancient symbols that look like "Swords" and "Kingdoms." This points towards a Strategy title, possibly Total War: Three Kingdoms.

Leaked Predictions: What We Expect Tonight

While Epic hasn't officially confirmed the names yet, the gaming community (including reliable sources on Reddit and Dealabs) is buzzing about these two:

• Prediction 1: Hunt: Showdown – The dark icons match the competitive atmosphere of this monster-hunting shooter.

• Prediction 2: Total War: Three Kingdoms – This fits the "Kingdom" icons perfectly and would be a massive New Year's gift for fans of the genre.

How to Claim Your Free Games at 9:30 PM

The new reveal will happen at 9:30 PM (Sri Lanka Time) today. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Epic Games Store account.

2. Go to the 'Free Games' section.

3. Click on the Mystery Gift and hit 'Claim.'

4. Once claimed, these games will stay in your library forever!

Note: Unlike the weekly free games, you only have 24 hours to claim these special New Year gifts.

Conclusion

Epic Games is ending the year with a bang! Make sure to grab Chivalry 2 right now and set an alarm for 9:30 PM for the final two mystery games.
