Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Free On Epic Games Store, Sail Forth Coming Next Week

by Rainier on Jan. 4, 2024 @ 8:39 a.m. PST

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering one title for free: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.

You are Star-Lord. The fate of the galaxy and the Guardians is in your hands. Time to show the universe what you’re made of. 

Fire up Star-Lord’s jet boots for a wild ride across the cosmos in this third-person action-adventure game, a fresh take on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. With the unpredictable Guardians at your side, blast your way from one explosive situation to another, with original and iconic Marvel characters caught in a struggle for the fate of the universe.

You got this. Probably.

You play as Star-Lord, so nothing’s off-limits with your bold combat style, from Element Blasters and jet boot-powered dropkicks to tag-team beat-downs. With the Guardians fighting at your side, call the shots and overwhelm your opponents with signature attacks. Meanwhile, the consequences of your decisions will range from light-hearted to downright unexpected as your journey unfolds.

Your newly-formed band of legendary misfits is set to save the universe in this fresh but faithful take on the Guardians of the Galaxy. Somehow, you set off a chain of catastrophic events, leading to a wild ride through mind-blowing worlds inhabited by iconic and original Marvel characters. Turn up the all-star ‘80s mixtape and get ready to kick it.

You’re the only thing holding the unpredictable Guardians together, so you’ll have to get better at this leadership thing fast. With this offbeat approximation of a family at your side, there will be tears and laughter as you set about tearing into the cosmos together. Whatever’s waiting around the next corner, you know it’s going to be a blast.

Once Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has run its course, it will be up to Sail Forth, which will be gratis starting January 11 until January 18, 2024.

Sail Forth

Sail a fleet of customizable ships across an ocean whose ancient depths have swallowed the key to the mysterious past. Befriend fishfolk to expand your boat crews, take up arms against petulant pirates, and chart a course across an expansive watery world.

Explore the Deepblue!
  • Put the wind to your back and cast out into High Adventure over a vast ocean spanning dozens of eccentric regions.
  • Discover countless isles bursting with their own flora, fauna, friendly folk, and fearsome foes.
  • Playfully pursue a pod of curious dolphins, admire the beauty of the sun sinking into an icy horizon, or run down a clutch of cowardly criminals only to accept their apologies to the tune of wild cannonry.
Command a Sailing Fleet!
  • Build and manage a custom cadre of specialized vessels to match any personality and play style.
  • Buy, equip, upgrade, and modify your ships’ armaments to face off against the toughest privateers this side of the Eclipside.
  • Crack open giant clams and loot lonely shipwrecks to fill your fleet’s treasure hoard and keep your crew in shipshape.
Fathom a Mystery!
  • Join forces with the myriad inhabitants of this watery world to uncover a terrible secret buried in the depths of the Deepblue.
  • Reel in a big one with the salty Anglerwranglers, learn the secret spyspeak of the Croaker Command Corps, save the sea life of the Moontiders, capture picturesque memories with a mysterious “camera” device, and much more.
  • Inspire the finefolk from all over to work as one world-spanning crew to save the seas and the planet.
Sail Forth into Adventure!
  • Tack and jibe and heave and cut with a sail and wind system designed with enough attention to realistic sailing physics to excite naval enthusiasts while also remaining deeply accessible to anyone and everyone.
  • Sail through stormy swells and serene sunsets in a dynamic and breathtaking day-night weather system.
  • Bask in the beauty of the benevolent ocean waters in Free Sail mode where the only goal is the ever-moving horizon.
