Epic Games Store free games program goes weekly - Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist arrive

The Epic Games Store has recently expanded to iOS and is now enhancing its free games program by making it a weekly event! You can dive into the latest free releases available on both Android and iOS, featuring the much-anticipated sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever, and the atmospheric side-scroller, Eastern Exorcist. New releases are set to drop every Thursday, so keep your eyes peeled!

Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction. This indie gem reignited the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. You'll take on the role of Meat Boy, teaming up with Bandage Girl to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a challenging journey, as the game's notorious difficulty will have you facing death repeatedly.

On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone. This side-scrolling action RPG immerses you in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore, filled with monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to vanquish evil while exploring visually stunning landscapes.

Epic Games' decision to make the free games program weekly is a bold move, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. They're aiming to capture attention in a space where players quickly move on to new releases. While it's too early to tell how this will impact the storefront's long-term popularity, one thing is clear: free games are always a hit. With Super Meat Boy Forever offering a worthy sequel to a beloved series and Eastern Exorcist providing visually captivating gameplay, there's plenty to enjoy.
