It was announced this week that Lucasfilm Games has ended its Star Wars exclusivity deal with Electronic Arts by partnering with Ubisoft on a new open-world game, although EA said it will continue to make Star Wars games “for years to come”.
The Epic Games Store’s free games promotion has seen it give away titles for nothing on a weekly basis since the storefront launched in December 2018. It also gave away 15 free games over the Christmas period, with one title offered every day from December 17-31.
Earlier this month Epic Games announced that it had acquired the Cary Towne Center shopping mall in North Carolina, which it will transform into its new headquarters, for $95 million.
It also announced the acquisition of Rad Game Tools, the game development tools maker behind the Bink video codec, Oodle data compression and Telemetry performance visualisation system.
