Each Thursday, all you need to do is log into your account, also free, and add that week&#8217;s offering to your library, where it stays yours to keep forever. It&#8217;s always a great opportunity to discover something new and save a little money in the process. Just make sure you claim it before April 9th, after that, it&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A new free co-op game on the Epic Games Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last Thursday, the Epic Games Store treated players to two well-received free titles. This week, the selection is a little leaner, just one game on offer. But a free game is a free game, and this one is worth adding to your backlog. Keep your \u20ac17.99 in your pocket and pick up Clone Drone in the Danger Zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed by Doborog Games, Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is a delightfully offbeat action title. Think real-life robot combat arenas, complete with enthusiastic commentators, transplanted into a video game. You&#8217;ll take control of a combat-ready robot and throw yourself into arena battles with everything you&#8217;ve got. Don&#8217;t let the low-poly voxel art style fool you, this one earned a warm reception during Early Access before landing on Xbox Game Pass in 2023, and sits at a solid 82\/100 from critics and 7.7\/10 from players on Metacritic. A genuinely good freebie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clone Drone In The Danger Zone - Launch Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/RvCW59eScik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.epicgames.com\/en-US\/p\/clone-drone-in-the-danger-zone-4daf6e\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/store.epicgames.com\/en-US\/p\/clone-drone-in-the-danger-zone-4daf6e\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EGS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":72829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[84,82,83],"class_list":["post-72828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-epic-games-store","tag-free","tag-free-games","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72828"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72832,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72828\/revisions\/72832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
