The Epic Games Store’s holiday mystery giveaway streak keeps rolling forward, and the latest free title has officially been confirmed. This time, players are being handed a cinematic sci-fi horror experience that leans heavily into atmosphere, brutal survival mechanics, and nerve-tightening tension from beginning to end.
The free game revealed for today is The Callisto Protocol, a narrative-driven survival horror adventure set in a high-security prison colony on one of Jupiter’s moons. Players step into the role of Jacob Lee, a prisoner trapped in Black Iron Prison as a mysterious outbreak turns inmates into horrifying, mutated creatures. With limited resources, intense close-quarters combat, and a constant sense of dread, the game pushes players to survive against overwhelming odds while uncovering the dark secrets behind the catastrophe. From its detailed environments to its weighty combat system and cinematic presentation, The Callisto Protocol is built to make you uncomfortable in all the right horror-game ways.
Players can add the game to their Epic Games Store library for free starting from 16:00 UTC / 11:00 ET / 08:00 PT, and once claimed, it remains permanently yours.
