Eternights free today on Epic Games Store

Epic keeps its holiday tradition: free games during the year-end offers, from December 11, 2025 to January 8, 2026. Today, December 19, it’s Eternights’ turn — an action RPG with dating simulation that blends fast-paced combat and emotional choices.

What is Eternights

In Eternights, the world faces a sudden apocalypse in which much of humanity begins to transform into monstrous and hostile creatures. Society collapses, and survivors are forced to fight for their lives in an environment where every day counts. Amid this chaos, the protagonist must not only confront hordes of enemies in intense, fast-paced battles, but also make decisions that directly affect those around them.

• Genre: Hack and slash action + dating simulation.
• Style: Anime-inspired visuals, fast rhythm, time management between exploring dungeons and going on dates.
• Why it stands out: The mix of agile combat with relationship-building gives it an emotional and strategic tone rarely seen in action games.
