Epic Games’ holiday mystery giveaway continues to be one of the most entertaining year-end rituals in gaming, and the next surprise in the lineup has officially stepped into the spotlight. Today’s free title is Cassette Beasts, the vibrant creature-collecting RPG that mixes nostalgic inspiration with stylish modern design, standing proudly as one of the more creative indie games of recent years.
Instead of simply copying the classic monster-collecting formula, Cassette Beasts builds its own identity around transformation and fusion. Players don’t just capture creatures; they literally become them using cassette tapes, gaining abilities, changing forms, and unlocking new strategies in its turn-based combat system. The game’s standout mechanic lets two characters fuse into powerful hybrid forms, opening the door to experimentation, tactical creativity, and some wonderfully chaotic combinations.

You can add Cassette Beasts to your Epic Games Store library starting at 16:00 UTC / 11:00 ET / 08:00 PT today. Claim it within the promotion window and it will stay in your library permanently, just like the previous giveaways.
Epic’s mystery campaign continues to focus on meaningful games instead of simple filler, and Cassette Beasts feels like another strong, carefully chosen addition. The streak of quality giveaways is still going strong, and curiosity naturally shifts to tomorrow’s reveal.
