Epic is giving away Idle Champions and Flotsam until Nov 12

Epic Games Store is giving away Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms and Flotsam this week. Both can be claimed from November 5 until November 12, 2026 at 16:00 UTC.

What has been announced

The Epic Games Store free games page lists two games with the promotion active from November 5 at 16:00 UTC until November 12 at 16:00 UTC.

Game	What it is	Developer / publisher	Regular price
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms	Idle strategy game licensed from Dungeons & Dragons	Codename Entertainment	€0 according to Epic's listing
Flotsam	Survival in a floating city built from ocean trash	Pajama Llama Games	€22.99

An honest note: Epic's own site blocked our request, so we cross-checked the dates and prices against the public data its store uses. The Idle Champions listing shows a price of 0, and Epic does not detail in that list what exactly its offer includes, so it is worth checking what gets added to your library when you claim it.

What it means for players

Anyone who claims a game before the promotion ends keeps it in their Epic library. Flotsam is the one that saves you the most, at 22.99 euros. It is a relaxed building and survival game, ideal if you like management games with a maritime setting. Idle Champions is a strategy idle game, the kind that progresses on its own while you do other things.

The store data also shows an upcoming promotion for Knightica, an auto-battler roguelike, from November 12 to 19. The source does not explicitly label it as free, so take it as a hint and confirm it on Thursday the 12th on Epic's site. The same list shows later discounted offers, but those are not giveaways.

How to claim them

1. Go to the Epic Games Store website or the launcher with your Epic account.
2. Open the free games section and choose Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms or Flotsam.
3. Click get and complete the order for 0 euros.
4. Repeat with the other game, and do it before 16:00 UTC on November 12.

The source does not say whether the games have text in your language; check each game's page.

A practical tip: Epic's promotions change every Thursday at the same time, so the safest thing is to claim both games as soon as possible, even if you will not play them this week. Once added to your library, they do not expire. If you already own one, the store will show it as "in library" and you will not need to do anything.
