Another Thursday signals the return of the Epic Games Store's generosity, offering PC gamers yet another opportunity to expand their gaming library without denting their wallets. This week's anticipated giveaway originally promised the iconic trio of Fallout titles, only to surprise enthusiasts with a last-minute switch to the adrenaline-pumping platformer, Super Meat Boy Forever. Available for a limited time, players have seven days to secure their copy and own it indefinitely.

Developed by Team Meat, the creative minds behind the acclaimed original release, Super Meat Boy Forever invites players into a gripping narrative set in a world fraught with peril. In a desperate bid to rescue their infant daughter, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus, players assume the roles of the valiant Meat Boy or the resilient Bandage Girl.

While retaining the essence of its predecessor, Super Meat Boy Forever introduces an innovative twist by transitioning from manual platforming to an exhilarating auto-runner format. Despite this evolution, players retain control over pivotal actions such as jumping and engaging enemies, ensuring a seamless blend of accessibility and challenge.

Team Meat encapsulates the essence of Super Meat Boy Forever with the following statement:

"The challenge of Super Meat Boy returns in Super Meat Boy Forever! Levels are brutal and death is inevitable. Players will run, jump, punch and kick their way through familiar places and new worlds all while enjoying a story truly meant for the big screen."

Normally priced at $19.99, this enthralling platformer is now available for free on the Epic Games Store until 11 am Eastern time on February 29. Grab your free copy now and prepare for an exhilarating journey through a world teeming with danger and excitement.
