ARC Raiders Frozen Trail | Forever Ago released | Out of Sight and TerraScape free this week

The huge updates, new titles, and two free games this week on the Epic Games Store!

The Frozen Trail update brings massive new challenges to ARC Raiders, featuring Pendola Pass, a frozen mountain map where players brave flash freezes and heavy defenses to salvage rare tech from a fallen six-legged ARC Emperor, or board the patrolling Frigate for intense close-quarters combat.

ARC forces are reinforced by three new machine-learned threats: the aggressive Bully, the stealthy Skulker, and the multi-turret Hydra. To fight back, Raiders gain two new firearms (the long-range Stiletto and the heavy Bantam revolver), new traversal and tactical gadgets (Grappling Hook, Tether Launcher, and Yank Grenade), and Amplified Weapons: a fifth-tier upgrade system via the Research Workstation that transforms 15 existing guns with powerful new abilities.

Albert, in his mid-seventies, embarks on a road trip of redemption in Forever Ago. What he seeks is part of the narrative, but you’ll learn about his struggles and regrets, his dreams and those of others, as he explores his past.

Drive his camper van through forests and barrens, examine the world through his instant camera, and experience Albert’s life, love, and losses in an unforgettable tale.

Each building draws influence from the land, so placing the correct structures near relevant biomes, natural resources, or neighboring buildings earns you positive influences and essential points.
