The Epic Games Store is expanding its next weekly giveaway lineup and it now includes Zero Hour, a Rainbow Six Siege-style tactical shooter that’s gained a solid following on Steam. This surprise addition brings the total value of next week’s free games to $56.97.
Epic Games Store free game lineup grows ahead of November 13
Previously, Epic announced it would offer two free titles between November 13 and November 20, 2025: in-game content for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms and the indie puzzle game Felix the Reaper. But a new update reveals a third freebie is now joining the mix Zero Hour, a 5v5 tactical FPS first released on Steam in 2020.
Zero Hour free on Epic Games Store with realistic gameplay
Developed by Bangladeshi studios Attrito and M7 Productions, Zero Hour delivers slow-paced, team-based shooter gameplay with a focus on coordination, planning, and precision. It draws constant comparisons to Rainbow Six Siege, thanks to its round-based format, breach mechanics, and tight indoor maps.
That said, many players say Zero Hour leans more toward realism than Ubisoft’s more arcade-like approach. It also features co-op PvE missions, though feedback suggests these missions feel less engaging due to weak AI opponents.
What you get with the Zero Hour free download
The game usually retails for $9.99, and this free Epic Games Store release includes access to:
- 15+ multiplayer maps, inspired by real-world Bangladeshi locations
- 20+ weapons
- 15 utility items, including breaching tools and tactical gadgets
- 5v5 online multiplayer and co-op PvE mode
Zero Hour joins Epic Games Store’s growing giveaway value
With Zero Hour added to the mix, next week’s total freebie value jumps to $56.97. Here’s what’s included:
- Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms in-game content
- Felix the Reaper
- Zero Hour (usually $9.99)
All three will be available starting November 13, 2025, for a limited time.
More realism, more value Epic keeps surprise drops coming
Zero Hour isn’t just another shooter it’s a calculated tactical experience that caters to players who prefer realism over speed. By dropping this as a freebie, Epic Games Store continues its pattern of surprise giveaways that keep users checking in weekly. If you’ve been curious about squad-based shooters but hesitant to spend, this is one to grab while it’s free.
