[{"selector":"#anim-99306985-a918-4d54-9caf-d66a20a315ad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b021e47-6f54-4e1d-96d8-7a391835b11d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(105.99456%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Last week, Epic teased that a mystery game would be up for grabs.

[{"selector":"#anim-1c0168bf-ca0d-4f13-a3c8-aaadaf18ddc4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62d39d92-f718-4f3f-8972-cfdbb3c69a2b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 166.01850%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The cynical part of me assumed it would be the in-game currency for something like Genshin Impact or Fortnite,

[{"selector":"#anim-8598fb75-71d5-4e6e-91d3-2dccb7b8e149","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f8f67118-1015-467a-b49b-9bda93f79634","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.13078%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But that isn’t the case at all. It turns out the crow is all mine!

[{"selector":"#anim-5fbc7061-e948-4aa0-a7b1-66efc5ee11a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5578e7da-1d1c-4bb4-949d-a96cec8fd874","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This week, Borderlands 3 is free on the Epic Games Store until May 26, 2022, at 8:00 A.M. PDT // 11 A.M. EDT // 4 P.M. GMT.

Yes, that wildly popular looter shooter from Gearbox Software costs absolutely nothing.

[{"selector":"#anim-f1c97ae2-8603-4895-b5ed-dc155e20dd09","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.13078%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1bfe36b1-8be1-4500-bcb0-d0d171e0afc0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d21c722c-fea3-4573-b86e-129893601f7f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

You deserve something good after another hard week!

[{"selector":"#anim-cb38333b-ff4a-43da-84d0-202f5727647c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14ece6f8-37b8-46c8-b28f-5a9a5a37d861","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 195.55549%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-21334a09-589e-4cac-8bfb-46e435d0fc76","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf708a17-bfe8-48dd-9842-e1cb83842408","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -1069.84159%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Next week, Epic is giving away yet another mystery title.

[{"selector":"#anim-9b4e510e-e45f-4889-b199-673aa1d83b70","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e8b91b65-67b0-47bb-8a1c-ff6474ee680a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.1308%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This is usually the part where I tell you what to expect from the next freebie, but I can’t do that when we don’t know what it will be!

[{"selector":"#anim-5d4281f6-cc06-454c-932e-d2b298d8ebf2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1549fd2-e722-484a-808c-bcacb9462434","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.13078%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Let’s hope Epic keeps the momentum going and announces another banger game.
