Epic Games Store Kicks Off 2026 with Two Free Titles; Including an Epic Adventure Set in Ancient China
The Epic Games Store continues its festive season giveaways as the new year begins. On January 1, 2026, PC players can claim not one but two free titles: Total War: Three Kingdoms and Wildgate.
Players have until January 8, 2026, to add these games to their library — once claimed, they’re yours to keep forever.
Total War: Three Kingdoms – An Epic Strategy in Ancient China
Total War: Three Kingdoms is a grand strategy game set in the period of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China. Players take on the role of one of twelve warlords, inspired by the famous Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Your task is to recruit legendary heroes, govern vast provinces, and expand your empire through both diplomacy and war. The gameplay blends turn-based strategy with intense real-time battles, offering depth and challenge for fans of historical strategy games.
Wildgate – Space Combat with a PvPvE Twist
Wildgate, on the other hand, offers a completely different experience. It’s a space-themed PvPvE game that mixes competition and cooperation across three main modes.
In Artifact Brawl, players must capture and escape with a mysterious relic while fending off opponents. Fleet Battle pits two teams of up to twelve players against each other in large-scale space combat, while Treasure Hunt provides a more relaxed experience focused on collecting treasures and escaping safely with the loot.
What do you think about Epic Games Store’s New Year gifts? Whether you like commanding armies in ancient China or fighting in space, these two free games will give you plenty of fun to start 2026.
