As we approach the weekend, it's time to delve into the latest free releases from the Epic Game Store, now available for mobile users on Android and iOS (in the EU). This week, you can download and keep Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead and Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack at no cost.

Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead brings a unique twist to the classic bridge-building game by integrating elements from the popular Walking Dead franchise. In this game, players must not only construct bridges to help survivors escape but also strategically set traps to fend off pursuing zombies. It's a blend of humor and intense challenges, making for an engaging gameplay experience.

On the other hand, Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack enhances your adventure in Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. This pack is loaded with rewards, including a Flumph familiar, unlocks for your favorite champions, and an exclusive Tuxedo Kalix skin among other bonuses. While it may not be a standalone game, the pack significantly boosts your gameplay, offering substantial value.

A Mix of Offerings
I must admit, I was initially disappointed to see a booster pack like Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack among the free releases. However, its extensive rewards can be a major draw for fans of Idle Champions. Meanwhile, Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead successfully combines fun with the added challenge of dealing with zombies, making it a compelling choice.

It will be fascinating to observe how Epic Games' strategy of offering free releases on mobile pans out, especially considering its mixed success on PC. Will this approach attract more mobile gamers? Only time will tell.
