Killing Floor 2, The Escapists 2, and Lifeless Planet are free on the Epic Games Store

Epic Games Store has put on offer Killing Floor 2, Lifeless Planet, and The Escapists 2 to claim and keep for free, taking the place of Hue.

Killing Floor 2 is a game about killing endless hordes of zombies in continental Europe. It features six-player online co-op as well as solo play with a variety of characters to choose from. There’s also a 12-player PvP mode. Here’s how the Epic Games Store describes it:

In KILLING FLOOR 2, players descend into continental Europe after it has been overrun by horrific, murderous clones called Zeds that were created by rogue elements of the Horzine Corporation. 6-player Co-Op & 12-player VS Zed-slaughtering mayhem.

Lifeless Planet is a puzzle platformer developed by David Board. It puts the player on a lifeless wasteland of a planet that is devoid of life. It’s about exploring this desolate world, and as one does, solve puzzles along the way. Here’s how the Epic Games Store describes it:

While seeking life on a distant planet, an astronaut discovers an abandoned Russian town. He suspects his mission is a hoax until a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly phenomenon...

The Escapists 2 challenges players with the goal of escaping a variety of prisons. It also features four-player co-op, letting a team of mischievous prisoners hatch a plan together; unlike The Escapists, which Epic Games gave away last year, this installment includes online multiplayer, meaning that you no longer have to be in the same room to hatch your schemes. Here’s how the Epic Games Store describes it:

Risk it all to breakout from the toughest prisons in the world. Explore the biggest prisons yet! You’ll have to live by the prison rules, attending roll call, doing prison jobs and following strict routines; all the while engineering your bid for freedom!

Epic Games Store is offering Killing Floor 2, Lifeless Planet, and The Escapists 2 for Windows but the latter two are also available for macOS and Linux via Steam, where they both are priced at $5.99 at the time of writing. Here are the minimum requirements:
