Until August 26, 11 a.m. EDT, the platformer "Yooka-Laylee" and strategy-shooter "Void Bastards" are free to keep.
"Yooka-Laylee" is a platformer that costs $$44.99CDN on the Epic Games Store.
"Yooka Laylee" originally released in 2017, developed Playtonic Studios who has former employee of Rare in their team. Rare developed classic games like "Banjo & Kazooie," "Conker's Bad Fur Day," and more.
"Void Bastards" is a first-person shooter game where the player leads a group out of a base. The player makes all the decisions.
"Void Bastards" is $32.99CDN and released in 2019. The game's developers are Blue Manchu, who are made up of the creators of the popular "Magic: The Gathering" and former Irrational Games employees.
Irrational Games developed "Bioshock," "System Shock 2," and more. Irrational Games now goes by "Ghost Story Games."
"Automachef," a resource-management puzzle game, will be free to keep on August 26 at 11 a.m. on the Epic Games Store.
Thanks for talking about the connection between Yooka Laylee and Banjo & Kazooie - that's a very neat tie-in between the games. I also never realized the developers for Void Bastards also worked on Magic: The Gathering.
