Epic Games Store has officially revealed its December 31 mystery game, confirming Chivalry II as the 15th free title in its Holiday Sale 2025 promotion. The reveal comes as the limited-time mystery game event approaches its conclusion, with only two more free games remaining before Epic transitions back to its standard weekly giveaway schedule.
Chivalry II is a multiplayer first-person slasher inspired by large-scale medieval battles commonly seen in epic historical films. The game places players directly on the battlefield, featuring sword clashes, flaming arrow volleys, and full-scale castle sieges. Combat is fast-paced and chaotic, focusing on close-quarters melee encounters rather than traditional shooter mechanics, which sets it apart from most competitive multiplayer titles offered through past Epic giveaways.
According to the Epic Games Store description, Chivalry II emphasizes massive 64-player battles across expansive maps. Team Objective modes task players with laying siege to castles, burning villages, and pushing through heavily defended fortifications using siege weapons such as catapults. The scale of these encounters is designed to recreate the brutality and spectacle of medieval warfare, with a strong focus on momentum and teamwork rather than individual precision alone.
The December 31 reveal follows an already eventful holiday promotion. The Epic Games Store Holiday Sale 2025 began on December 11 with Hogwarts Legacy as its headline free title, drawing significant attention at the start of the sale. On December 18, Epic shifted into its annual daily mystery game format, unveiling a new free title each day.
Since then, players have been able to claim a wide range of games, including Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel on December 18, Eternights on December 19, Blood West on December 20, Sorry We’re Closed on December 21, Paradise Killer on December 22, and Bloodstained Ritual of the Night on December 23. The Christmas period brought higher-profile releases such as The Callisto Protocol on December 24 and Disco Elysium: The Final Cut on December 25. The lineup continued with We Were Here Together, Cassette Beasts, SKALD Against the Black Priory, Viewfinder, and the Trine Classic Collection, leading up to the December 31 reveal.
