The player base of Behaviour Interactive's survival horror game Dead by Daylight is set to gain some new blood, since the game will be available for free on the Epic Games Store starting December 2.

Dead by Daylight is finally coming to EGS next week, and it will be available for free on PC from December 2 to December 9, according to the developer. To ensure that you don't miss the start of the offer, you may immediately add the popular survival horror to your wishlist.

If you've never heard of Dead by Daylight you're in for a treat. A vicious Killer hunts down four Survivors in this multiplayer action game inspired by classic slasher films. Both sides can be played, and the Killer can take on the roles of Ghost Face, Pinhead, Freddy Krueger, or Michael Myers. Wilder choices like the Demogorgon, Pyramid Head, and Nemesis can be found in the game's many DLC packs, including the planned original chapter Portrait of a Murder.

If you really want to know how popular the game has become you don't really have to look no further. It appears to have inspired the upcoming Dragon Ball: The Breakers, which will begin a closed beta test on December 3.

Dead by Daylight is not the only free game on the Epic Games Store this month. You'll also get the puzzle simulator Data Scientist Edition, which is geared to teaching players about machine learning, neural networks, big data, and AI, in addition to the horror-slasher.

Naturally, you can find free games on the Epic Games Store right now. Until December 2, all users can add the open-world hunting simulator theHunter: Call of the Wild to their library. The game presently has "extremely positive" user ratings on Steam, so if you utilise the platform, it's probably worth a shot.

Antstream Arcade players can also get a free Epic Welcome Pack. Which may be used to buy classic games on the gaming cloud platform, which was just added to the store.
