Daemon x Machinawas developed by Marvelous First Studio, a development studio within the company Marvelous, known for games likeStory of Seasons.Daemon x Machinalets players customize their own mech and pilot, battling it out with other mechs either solo or in co-op.Daemon x Machinawas originally a Nintendo Switch exclusive game, but came to PC in 2020. The PC port ofDaemon X Machinawill be less than a year old by the time it hits the Epic Games Store, making it one of the newer games that the Epic Games Store has featured.
Generally speaking, the Epic Games Store tends to give away slightly older games for free as opposed to newer releases. It’s rare for the Epic Games Store to give away a free game that’s not even a year old yet, but that’s exactly what’s happening when thePC version ofDaemon x Machinais made available for Epic Games Store users to claim for free next week.
Assuming there aren’t any changes in store for February,Epic Games Store userscan expectDaemon x Machinato be replaced by another free game once it’s removed on February 3. However, fans will have to wait until next week to find out what the next free game is.
