There are two new freebies as this week's giveaways on the Epic Games Store, where everyone is now entitled to pick up Beyond Blue for Windows and/or HUMANKIND Standard Edition for Windows and macOS completely free. The gifts are for keeps if you act before the offer cycles next week at 11:00 am EST. At that point two new gifts will be F1 Manager 2024 and a Loba Free Unlock Bundle for Apex Legends. Beyond Blue may already be in your library, as it was a previous giveaway. Here's the deal on this week's offerings:

HUMANKIND™ is Amplitude Studios' magnum opus, a Historical Turn-Based Strategy game where YOU will re-write the entire narrative of humankind – a convergence of culture, history, and values that allows you to create a civilization that is as unique as you are. Create your own civilization by combining 60 historical cultures from the Ancient to the Modern Age. Begin as Ancient Egypt, then evolve into the Romans, the Khmers, or perhaps the Vikings. Each culture brings its own special gameplay layer, leading to near-endless outcomes. What civilization will you shape?

Beyond Blue is a single-player narrative adventure that takes you deep into our planet’s beating blue heart. Set in the near future, Beyond Blue explores the mysteries of our ocean through the eyes of Mirai, a deep-sea explorer and scientist. Become a part of a newly-formed research team using groundbreaking technologies to see, hear, and interact with the ocean in a more meaningful way than has ever been attempted.
