Epic Games Store’s New Year’s Eve free game for 2024 was Sifu. Notebookcheck reported the giveaway on December 31, 2024, with the claim period ending January 1, 2025, at 16:00 UTC. That promotion has expired.

Can you still claim Sifu for free?

No. The reported Epic Games Store giveaway ended January 1, 2025, at 16:00 UTC. Epic’s current Sifu listing presents the game as a paid Windows title; check the store page for current price and availability, which can change. The reported offer does not establish identical eligibility or terms in every territory.

What is Sifu?

Epic describes Sifu as a third-person brawler built around Kung Fu combat and a revenge story. Sloclap is listed as both developer and publisher, and Epic lists Windows, single-player, and controller support.

The story follows a character pursuing the people who killed their family. A mysterious amulet brings the character back to life, but each return causes them to age. Combat includes dodges, parries, combos, environmental objects, and unlockable skills. Notebookcheck reported more than 150 different attacks in its 2024 article; that is the publication’s figure, not a newly verified count.

Gurei - PlayStation 5
  • You are free to pick your fights against the Kami in any order. The game features a dynamic difficulty system where each enemy strength is defined by the player’s chosen path. This means that the very same Kami fought at the very beginning could also be the final boss in a different route. Hope to never leave the one you struggle most to fight last!
  • Besides sword attacks, dodges, head stomps and other basic abilities, Rei will learn a completely new skill for each defeated Kami. Those will provide further depth to your combat arsenal, be it a stronger dash, a weapon that can execute enemies, the ability to heal and many more!
  • Player choice is the ultimate power. Taking into account the vastly distinct enemies’ patterns and unique skills granted upon each victory, you will be able to decide how to approach every challenge. It won’t be easy either way, but you can always go back and try something different.
  • Gurei is a game about fighting strong enemies, but that’s not all. The Kami inhabit a surreal castle located between the human and spirit worlds. After each victory, Rei comes closer to the realm of spirits, starting to encounter peculiar characters from Japanese mythology. These creatures will add novelty and strangeness to your journey, providing commentary, unique animations, side objectives and obscure secrets.
  • You will get to know the different Kami quite well. When Rei defeats them, she absorbs their power and their personality. The defeated Kami will be carried around wherever Rei goes, and they’ll surely have stuff to talk about. Sometimes their remarks will be useful information that builds the player’s understanding of the lore and the game mechanics, but sometimes they will be... not so helpful, to put it briefly. Good luck!
