As we approach the weekend, it's time to explore the latest free releases from the Epic Game Store, now available for mobile users on Android and iOS (particularly in the EU). These titles are free to download and keep, spotlighting Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead and Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack.

Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead brings a unique twist to the classic bridge-building game. Players are tasked with constructing bridges to help survivors escape while setting traps to fend off the relentless Walkers. This game combines the humor of the franchise with the intense challenge of engineering solutions amidst a zombie apocalypse.

On the other hand, Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack is designed for fans of Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. This pack is packed with valuable rewards, including a Flumph familiar, champion unlocks, and an exclusive Tuxedo Kalix skin among other perks. While it's not a standalone game, it significantly enhances the gameplay experience for existing players.

A Bit of Both Worlds
While I must admit my initial disappointment at seeing a booster pack as one of the free releases, I recognize the value it brings to dedicated players of Idle Champions. Meanwhile, Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead successfully marries the fun elements of its source material with the engaging challenge of bridge construction in a zombie-infested world.

It will be fascinating to observe the impact of Epic Games' strategy of offering free mobile releases. Will it prove more successful in attracting mobile gamers compared to their efforts on PC? Only time will tell.
