The Epic Games Store just surprised players with another free title. This time, it's an Action-RPG Undead: Rise of the Betrayed King.

The platform is already very popular for giving away games for free, but that offer follows a set rotation. Rise of the Betrayed King comes alongside the existing lineup.

Normally priced at $20, the 2025-released title is currently available at no cost on the Epic Games Store. Once claimed, it stays in your library permanently.

Built using Unreal Engine 5, Undead: Rise of the Betrayed King places players in the role of the last Golden Dragon. It has to live undercover as a human barbarian while battling an expanding undead threat. The core gameplay revolves around melee combat and dragon magic like frost spears, fiery explosions, and shockwave abilities.

Despite being an RPG, it follows a roguelite pattern. Collecting gears during runs, adjusting builds on the fly, progressing through a skill tree with permanent upgrades - this is what the game is about. The game features a companion system as well.

Players need to keep in mind that the current version is part of an early access release. That means those who claim this game on the Epic Games Store will be able to play the first chapter now. Also, the game features one companion, limited dragon gameplay, and a portion of the world known as Edrikia, roughly 10% of the planned content.

The full game is expected to expand across 10 kingdoms and 35 companions through regular updates. Importantly, all progress carries forward as new content is added. That means players will eventually own the full game without paying a penny.

What Else Is Free on Epic Games Store Right Now?

The platform is currently offering The Stone of Madness as its main weekly free title until April 23.

This real-time tactical stealth game is set inside an 18th-century Spanish monastery. Players need to control five prisoners attempting to escape, all while uncovering hidden secrets. Each character also comes with unique abilities. Hence, coordinating all five of them is the key.

Looking forward to these, Doomblade will be the next free game on EGS, available from April 23 to April 30. This is a completely different game from the previous ones.

Doomblade lands on fast-paced 2D metroidvania combat centered around a character known as Gloom Girl.
