Epic Games Store Reveals December 31 Mystery Game
Epic Games Store has officially unveiled its December 31 mystery game, confirming Chivalry II as the 15th free title offered during its Holiday Sale 2025 promotion. With this reveal, the highly anticipated mystery giveaway event is nearing its end, leaving just two free games to be announced before Epic returns to its regular weekly giveaway schedule.
Chivalry II Becomes the Final December Reveal
Chivalry II is a multiplayer first-person slasher inspired by large-scale medieval warfare seen in epic historical films. Instead of guns and modern combat mechanics, the game immerses players in brutal hand-to-hand battles filled with clashing swords, flaming arrows, siege engines, and castle assaults.
The gameplay focuses heavily on close-quarters melee combat, making it stand out from traditional shooter-based multiplayer games previously featured in Epic’s giveaways. Players must rely on timing, positioning, and teamwork rather than precise gunplay alone.
Massive 64-Player Medieval Warfare
According to the Epic Games Store listing, Chivalry II emphasizes large-scale 64-player battles set across vast medieval battlefields. The popular Team Objective mode challenges players to:
- Lay siege to fortified castles
- Burn villages and defensive outposts
- Push through enemy lines using siege weapons like catapults
- Defend or destroy key objectives across multi-stage maps
These large encounters are designed to recreate the chaos, brutality, and spectacle of medieval warfare, where momentum and coordination often matter more than individual skill.
A Highlight of Epic’s Holiday Sale 2025
The December 31 reveal marks another major highlight in an already packed Epic Games Store Holiday Sale 2025. The event kicked off on December 11 with Hogwarts Legacy as the headline free game, generating massive interest among players worldwide.
On December 18, Epic transitioned into its popular daily mystery game format, revealing a new free title every 24 hours.
Free Games Released During the Event
Since the mystery event began, players have been able to claim a diverse lineup of games, including:
- Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel (Dec 18)
- Eternights (Dec 19)
- Blood West (Dec 20)
- Sorry We’re Closed (Dec 21)
- Paradise Killer (Dec 22)
- Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Dec 23)
The Christmas period featured several high-profile releases:

- Disco Elysium: The Final Cut (Dec 25)
The final stretch included We Were Here Together, Cassette Beasts, SKALD: Against the Black Priory, Viewfinder, and the Trine Classic Collection, culminating in the December 31 reveal of Chivalry II.
What’s Next for Epic Games Store?
With only two free mystery games remaining, players are eagerly watching to see how Epic concludes its Holiday Sale 2025. Once the event ends, the platform is expected to return to its standard weekly free game rotation, a staple of Epic’s long-running player engagement strategy.
For now, Chivalry II stands as one of the most action-packed and distinctive titles in this year’s holiday lineup, offering players a chance to experience full-scale medieval warfare—completely free.
