Knightica is a turn-based fantasy strategy game from Mad Mango Games and Goblinz Publishing. You recruit units, place them on the battlefield and look for combinations that work well together. Once a fight starts, your army battles on its own, taking on monsters and bosses as you push further in.
It came out on PC in August 2025. Its first expansion, Faraway Tales, launches on November 12 as a paid add-on with three new commanders, so it's a good week to start.
Free next week
Epic names the game for November 19 when Knightica goes live at 11 AM ET today. We'll add it here as soon as it's announced.

Questions
When do the free Epic games change?
Every Thursday at 11 AM ET (8 AM PT).
Do I keep the games?
Yes. Once you've claimed a game, it stays in your Epic library after the offer ends.
Are the free Epic games only for PC?
No. Epic gives away games on PC and on mobile every Thursday, sometimes the same game on both. Its free games web page shows the PC giveaways, while the mobile ones are claimed in the Epic Games Store app.
Do I have to play it before the offer ends?
No. You only need to claim it in time. You can download and play it whenever you like.
Can I get the free mobile games on iPhone in the US?
Not yet. Epic's iPhone app is only available in the EU, Japan and Brazil, so US players can claim the mobile games on Android.
