Sifu is Today’s Free Epic Games Store Game For December 31st, 2024

As 2024 ends, we’re due for another free game on the Epic Games Store. Today, we take a trip down memory lane with one of 2022’s best releases, Sifu, the third-person Kung Fu action brawler.

Sifu combines beat ’em up combat with roguelike elements into one fantastic package. It stands out from similar games by avoiding the common combat trap where enemies wait their turn to attack you. It’s a great change of pace that avoids the frustrations of many mainstream action games.

We’re not alone in this assessment; OpenCritic gives it a “Strong” rating, highlighting its unique characteristics and satisfying challenge.

Usually available for $39.99, you can pick up Sifu for free over the next 24 hours until January 1st, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST, when the next game goes on sale.

What’s Next For The Epic Game Store Holiday Giveaway?

The EGS version of an Advent Calendar is expected to announce new games every day through January 2. According to a leak from billbil-kun, 16 games are expected to be made available in total.

Much like the starter title in this year’s edition, Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, the last game will likely stay available for download for a week instead of a day.

Here is the full list of Epic Game Store winter giveaways, including the past titles and the expected dates for upcoming ones.
