Epic Games will offer the survival horror title Alien: Isolation and the pirate adventure Mark of the Deep for free on the Epic Games Store from November 19 to November 26. In the meantime, players can claim the turn-based strategy roguelike autobattler Knightica at no cost through November 19. [1][2]
Originally released in 2014, Alien: Isolation puts players in the shoes of Amanda Ripley aboard the Sevastopol space station, navigating threats from hostile synthetics and an unkillable Xenomorph. Mark of the Deep combines isometric action with metroidvania and souls-like mechanics, offering 16 bosses and over 80 enemy types as players search for scattered crew members on a mysterious island.

All three games run on handheld hardware, with Valve verifying Alien: Isolation and Mark of the Deep for the Steam Deck, though playing Epic titles on the handheld requires installing the Epic Games Store first. The promotion for Alien: Isolation also gives players a chance to revisit the title ahead of a planned sequel slated for 2027. [1][2]
