Latest Leaks and Rumours

The community is always buzzing with speculation about what’s coming next. While Epic tries to keep its biggest surprises under wraps, information sometimes finds its way out early. It’s important to know which sources are reliable and to take everything with a grain of salt until it’s officially confirmed.

Reliable Sources:

Historically, the French deals site Dealabs has had an almost perfect track record for leaking upcoming free titles, often days in advance. Information from data miners who dig through Epic Games Store client updates can also be accurate.

Common Speculation:

Wishlists are always full of major AAA titles. Fans always hope for a repeat of when Grand Theft Auto V was a legendary giveaway, and speculation often centres on highly anticipated PC ports like The Last of Us Part II making a surprise appearance. While it’s unlikely we’ll see brand new titles like the upcoming releases like Assassin’s Creed Shadows given away, older AAA games from a few years ago are always a possibility.
