As the year draws to a close, the Epic Games Store is encouraging users to expand their libraries with free games offered throughout the holiday season.

This limited-time free title is a particularly noteworthy opportunity for players who enjoy classic role-playing games.

SKALD: Against the Black Priory is Free on Epic Games

The free game for December 28th on the Epic Games Store has been announced as SKALD: Against the Black Priory. This title is Epic’s 15th free game offered in December 2025 and the 12th game in their holiday campaign.

Inspired by retro CRPGs, SKALD: Against the Black Priory stands out with its atmosphere centered around a dark fantasy theme. The game combines a classic role-playing experience with modern systems through its turn-based tactical combat system, dialogues that influence player choices, and deep character development options. Its Lovecraftian world is among the key elements that define the game’s narrative tone.

Since its release, the game has received positive feedback from both critics and players. Its modern inventory system, quest log, and companion gameplay options make it more accessible for players unfamiliar with old-school RPGs, successfully appealing to a wide audience.
