The Epic Games Store has officially pulled back the curtain on its latest seasonal surprise. From now until December 19 at 11:00 a.m. EST, users can secure a permanent copy of Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel without spending a dime.
Having recently transitioned from Early Access to its full 1.0 launch this autumn, Jotunnslayer offers a visceral fusion of Norse mythology and the “bullet heaven” horde survivor genre. Players are tasked with surviving relentless onslaughts of enemies by harnessing divine boons and upgrades granted by the gods. With a diverse roster of heroes—each sporting unique combat mechanics and weapon sets—the game thrives on strategic experimentation and build-crafting during its high-octane battles.
While Epic typically provides a week’s notice for its weekly freebies, the platform adopts a more cryptic approach during the festive season. To maintain the holiday spirit, upcoming titles are hidden behind digital gift wrap on the storefront, keeping the community in suspense until the daily reveal.
Epic’s holiday track record is impressive; in 2024, the store distributed over a dozen high-caliber titles, including heavy hitters like Sifu, Control, and Dredge. Since Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is only available for a 24-hour window, it is highly likely that Epic is kicking off another marathon of daily giveaways that will carry through the end of the year.
To add this title to your permanent library, simply head to the Epic Games Store and claim it. These mystery promotions cycle every day at 11:00 a.m. EST, at which point the current gift will be replaced by a brand-new unannounced game.
