Epic Games Store Holiday Giveaway: Claim Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel for a Limited Time

Epic Games has officially kicked off its year-end holiday giveaway season, and the first title to lead the charge is Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel. This dark fantasy roguelike horde-survivor game is available for free for 24 hours only. Players can claim and keep the game permanently if they add it to their library before December 19, 2025, at 11:00 PM via the Epic Games Store.

About Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel

Set in the grim realms of Norse mythology, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel challenges players to survive against overwhelming waves of enemies. Drawing inspiration from the “bullet heaven” genre, you must navigate intense battles while collecting divine blessings from ancient Viking deities to grow stronger. Each run offers a chance to face off against powerful bosses waiting at the end of the chaos.

The game features an escalating difficulty curve where the sheer number of enemies and their attack patterns become increasingly difficult to dodge. However, successful runs reward players with treasures and resources that fuel a deep meta-progression system. You can unlock various characters, each with unique combat styles—ranging from brutal melee warriors to powerful long-range spellcasters.

Key Features

• Fast-Paced Horde Combat: Fight off endless waves of mythical adversaries in adrenaline-fueled matches.
• Divine Blessings: Receive random perks and skills from Norse gods like Odin and Thor to customize your build during each run.
• Meta-Progression: Use earned currency to permanently upgrade your hero’s stats, weapons, and abilities.

• In-Run Missions: Complete specific objectives during a match to earn extra rewards and favor from the gods.

To participate in the giveaway, ensure your Epic Games account has Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled for security. Once the 24-hour window for Jotunnslayer ends, a new mystery game will take its place as part of Epic’s daily holiday rotation.

Epic starting the holidays with a “Very Positive” rated 2025 release like Jotunnslayer is a huge power move. It effectively bridges the gap between the chaotic fun of Vampire Survivors and the heavy atmosphere of Diablo. While the 24-hour window is stressful for those of us who forget to check our launchers, it’s a small price to pay for a high-quality indie hit that normally retails for around $15. If you love Norse mythology and the feeling of becoming an absolute god-killer by the end of a 20-minute run, do not sleep on this one.
