The creators of Fortnite change strategy for the theme of the title, based on global pandemics; Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne are maintained.
Epic Games Store, the increasingly popular digital video game platform of Epic Games, has withdrawn Pandemic from its next batch of free weekly games, presumably, due to the current coronavirus crisis, a viral outbreak that is causing fatalities in China and that It is trying to contain itself around the world. And it is that Pandemic, precisely, is a title whose main axis is the spread of deadly diseases on a global scale.
Free games from February 6 to 13
This has been shared by the company itself through a recent interview with the VGC media, stating that "we have moved the launch of Pandemic as a free game from our store to a later date", without offering more information about it or a new window of launch as a free video game of its already traditional weekly promotions.
So much so, that Pandemic was going to be offered as a free game in the Epic Games Store on very delicate dates if we take into account the current global events and the videogame itself. Therefore, since Epic Games has decided to withdraw Pandemic from its already announced promotion planned from February 6 to 13 along with two other video games, such as Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne, both planned and unchanged for the same dates.
Recall that these days Farming Simulator 19 is offered as a free video game in the Epic Games Store, a title that we can already add to our digital library of the Epic Games platform at no cost before it returns to its usual price on February 6 with the arrival of the next batch of free titles that, as we say, will be Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne.
On the other hand, the videogame Plague Inc., a global scale epidemic simulator, has become a bestseller following the outbreak of the coronavirus.
