Next week’s free Epic Games Store title has been announced

Next week’s free Epic Games Store title has been revealed.

Circus Electrique, from developer Zen Studios and publisher Saber Interactive, will be free to claim on Epic’s PC marketplace from May 9-16.

“Named for an alternate-history London’s most famous entertainment, Circus Electrique combines enthralling, story-driven RPG tactics and circus management with a steampunk twist,” reads a description of the game.

“When everyday Londoners mysteriously turn into vicious killers, only Circus Electrique’s talented performers can save the city.”

Circus Electrique, which currently costs $19.99 / £17.49 on Steam, will replace Cat Quest II and Orcs Must Die! 3, which are currently free to claim on Epic Games Store.

“Cat Quest II is a 2D open-world action-RPG set in a fantasy realm of cats and dogs,” developed by The Gentlebros and published by Kepler Interactive, while tower defence action game Orcs Must Die! 3 “ushers orc-slaying mayhem to a previously unimaginable scale”, according to Robot Entertainment.

Players who log in to the free-to-play title Firestone: Online Idle RPG next week via Epic Games Store can also claim a range of in-game items for free including avatars, gems and chests.

May’s ‘free’ games with Amazon Prime Gaming were announced on Thursday.

Subscribers will be able to claim nine titles this month including Tomb Raider Game of the Year Edition, Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars and Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition.
