The Epic Games Store is in full holiday swing with its 2025 Holiday Sale, offering massive discounts, Epic Rewards, and a lineup of free games to stuff gamers' libraries. Hogwarts Legacy kicked things off on December 11 and remains free until December 18 at 11 AM ET, letting players dive into the wizarding world while earning Fortnite cosmetics for playtime. But the real buzz centers on the upcoming mystery game promotion, where Epic drops a new free title daily through the end of the year.
A leak originating from Chinese social media has gone viral, claiming to spill the entire schedule. First spotted and amplified by Fortnite leaker @blortzen on X, the list promises blockbuster giveaways like Jurassic World Evolution 2, Detroit: Become Human, Mortal Kombat 11, and a jaw-dropping Red Dead Redemption 2 to close out December 31. The total value? Close to $300 based on original prices.
The Alleged Full Lineup
Here's the purported schedule, with Hogwarts Legacy already live:
| Date | Game |
|---|---|
| December 11 | Hogwarts Legacy (confirmed) |
| December 18 | Jurassic World Evolution 2 |
| December 19 | Desperados 3 |
| December 20 | Total War: WARHAMMER |
| December 21 | Tropico 5 |
| December 22 | Chicken Police: Paint it RED! |
| December 23 | Loop Hero |
| December 24 | LEGO Batman |
| December 25 | Commander Keen |
| December 26 | Farming Simulator 22 |
| December 27 | Slime Rancher 2 |
| December 28 | Terraria |
| December 29 | Detroit: Become Human |
| December 30 | Mortal Kombat 11 |
| December 31 | Red Dead Redemption 2 |
The Epic Games Store free games page teases a "Mystery Game Unlocking" soon, aligning with the December 18 slot. If Jurassic World Evolution 2 appears then, the leak's credibility skyrockets.
Skepticism and Red Flags
Not everyone is buying it. GameRant points out issues like Terraria and others not currently listed for purchase on the Epic store, plus the lack of giveaways spilling into January as in past years. X users echoed doubts, noting Terraria's absence from Epic. Past holiday leaks have mixed accuracy, with fakes often circulating alongside real ones.
Still, the hype is real. Titles like Slime Rancher 2 and RDR2 would make this Epic's most generous holiday yet, building on traditions of daily surprises.
Mark your calendars for December 18. Until then, grab Hogwarts Legacy and watch the store. Epic could confirm or debunk with the next drop. Stay tuned, as these leaks often predict hits.
