Epic has shared a selection of promising new game releases in their Spring Update. Among several indie titles, two AAA games are highlighting the next batch of exclusive game releases on the Epic Games Store. Check them out below!
The Epic Games Store is over a year old now and has thoroughly managed to shake things up in the PC gaming scene. What was once only known among the console space became a reality for PC gamers in the form of exclusives. But unlike platforms, it’s all about game stores and clients on PC. Steam’s unchallenged position as the defacto PC gaming client has been tested in more than just one way. From dozens of high-profile indie titles to even proper AAA big-budget blockbusters, Epic managed to make timed exclusivity deals to keep many games off Steam.
And it doesn’t look like things are going to change in the foreseeable future. With the Spring Update, Epic is promoting lots of great new games which will be exclusively available on their store. The undoubted highlight release is Samurai Shodown. The reboot of the cult fighting games originally came out last year but only on consoles and Google’s streaming platform Stadia. This summer, it’ll be available on PC in a more traditional form. Here are the games users of the Epic Games Store can look forward to.
