The Epic Games Store traditionally hosts its mystery games promotion every December, though it has sometimes held one in the summer months as well. As usual, the free games are really a way to get Epic Games Store users visiting the store every day with the hope that they’ll buy something while they’re claiming their free games. The mystery game promotions tend to coincide with big sales, and so is the case this time around, with the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale live now until January 5.

While Epic Games Store users are free to check out the deals available through the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale, they may be most concerned with the daily free game. Last week’s Epic Games Store free games have now been replaced by the first free mystery game, which is tower defense game Bloons TD 6. Bloons TD 6 is the latest installment in the long-running tower defense series, with this entry offering 4-player co-op and having just been updated to include holiday content.

Bloons TD 6 may have its fans, though it’s safe to say that there will be some Epic Games Store users who were expecting something a bit bigger to kick off the mystery games promotion this year. Typically, the Epic Games Store mystery games are marked by big budget, AAA games, so Bloons TD 6 kicking things off is a bit unexpected. It’s possible the next Epic Games Store free games will be higher profile, but EGS users will just have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
The Epic Games Store free mystery games follow the same release time pattern as the weekly EGS free games. This means that the next Epic Games Store free game will be available on Friday, December 16 at 10:00am CT. Anyone interesting in claiming Bloons TD 6 for their digital libraries will want to make sure that they do so as soon as possible, as the game will soon be replaced by whatever tomorrow’s offering is.
