Leaked Epic Games Store Free Game for June 2021 Explained

In the few short years since the Epic Games Store was released, it has amassed a huge user base from a platform that was thought to be locked up. Steam has long had a lock on the PC gaming market, but Epic Games has been able to cover a surprising amount of ground in the last three years. The Epic Games Store has managed this feat by releasing free games every single week for anyone with an account.

The current free game on the Epic Games Store is Among Us, also known as one of the most popular games of 2020. While the next free game is hidden, there have been leaks about the puzzle-adventure that fans can expect to embark on when June 3 rolls around. Lara Croft is getting her own chance in Epic Games’ spotlight with Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition. The clever and skilled heroine from the late nineties is celebrated for her two decades of contributions to gaming with over 50 hours of gameplay for the players to enjoy.

Epic Games Store June 2021 Leak

A Reddit user by the name of KekanKok saw that the French Epic Games Facebook page posted an advertisement for the current Epic Games Store Mega Sale. Sounds simple enough, but they also noticed that there was an announcement that Rise of the Tomb Raider would be free starting on June 3. This timeline matches, as it’s the same day that Among Us will be going back to its standard price. Epic Games has been rumored to leak its own free games to build hype, like Grand Theft Auto 5 around this same time last year.

Rise of the Tomb Raider as the Epic Games Store Free Game

Rise of the Tomb Raider came out in 2015 as a sequel to 2013’s Tomb Raider and a prequel to 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The 20th Anniversary edition released in 2017 and features all of the content in the base game, plus all DLC, as well as content that’s exclusive to Rise of the Tomb Raider’s 20 Year Celebration. Some of the content exclusive to the anniversary edition include a new Extreme difficulty and some new gameplay additions like a narrative lore experience in the manor and a nightmare Lara has featuring zombies.

When Rise of the Tomb Raider was released, it was received well by critics and fans for how beautiful the graphics were, with many also enjoying the story as well. It was nominated for a number of awards and won such accolades as the Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing from the WGA Awards and Most Enduring Character at the SXSW Gaming Awards. By the end of 2017, the title had sold over seven million copies, with the PC version selling three times as many copies as the console version.

The way that the Epic Games Store has created a powerful and sustainable marketing tactic is something that Steam and other gaming platforms should take notice of. The free market allows for new competition and Epic Games has been doing everything in its power to be that. Plus the addition of the Rise of the Tomb Raider likely means that the game store has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. If this leak turns out to be true, it would be a huge game to give away for free. That being said, there will still be one more game to be announced for free during the mega sale, and it should release on June 10.
