What Neko Ghost, Jump and Cat Quest Say About the Upcoming Mystery Free Games
When it comes to mystery games on the Epic Games Store, typically, the titles will share some kind of themed wrapping paper. Ahead of Epic’s spring sale, fans knew that the next titles were mystery games by the appearance of two presents left on the free games page covered with cats wearing sunglasses. Now that thecat-focused gamesare unwrapped and up for grabs, that wrapping paper remains in the upcoming freebie slot. Considering how not one, but both of the other mystery games dealt with cats, there’s a very strong chance that whatever the next mystery game is will deal with cats as well.
The spring sale doesn’t usually have mystery games attached to it, and bigger sales like the Mega Sale tend to offer mystery games for an entire month. Epic’s spring sale is only going on until April 9, so there’s a strong chance that whatever the last mystery game is, it’s the last one until the Mega Sale. It may feel strange, but this isn’t the first timethe Epic Games Store has broken a trendthis year, so whatever happens next could be unexpected and surprising in a number of ways. Regardless, fans still have plenty of free games to look forward to, cat-related or not.
