Epic adding Hitman to its free games list next week

Epic have announced their latest pair of upcoming free video games for next week: 2016’s Hitman and Shadowrun Collection.

Both games will be available to download and keep forever as long you claim them between August 27th and September 3rd.

Hitman will come fully packaged with every episode and location, from Paris to Hokkaido. It’s a fantastic reboot for the series with hours upon hours of replayable content. We scored Hitman an 8, praising its flawless style and inventive episodic approach while criticising load times and frustrating stretches of trial and error gameplay.

Hitman 3 was recently announced as an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC.

Shadowrun Collection is definitely worth a punt for those who enjoy quirky sci-fi RPGs. This bundle packs in Shadowrun Returns (Base Game), Shadowrun Dragonfall – Director Cut (Base Game) and Shadowrun Hong Kong – Extended Edition (Base Game).

Those wanting some free gaming goodness from Epic right now can get their hands on Enter the Gungeon and God’s Trigger.
