Just as its ARK: Survival Evolved and Samurai Shodown Neogeo Collection giveaways came to an end, Epic Games Store was supposed to put forth the next specials in its freebie lineup, giving everyone a chance to grab two free games until next Thursday. However, due to an issue, the plan has changed somewhat, with only Pathway available for now and The Escapists 2 coming soon.
The release of The Escapists 2 has been temporarily delayed.

We're currently investigating an issue and are working to find a resolution.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and will provide an update as soon as the game is available to claim.
The delay should be a temporary one according to Epic Games, so check back a little later to see if the promotion has gone active.
Pathway arrives from Robotality as another top-down 2D strategy title, but this time the player has to go through FTL-like dynamic adventures while facing difficult decisions and turn-based combat scenarios. There are 16 characters with unique abilities to unlock for building the ultimate adventuring team.
The game's Epic Games Store description says the following:
