Humble Choice Refresh
The Humble Choice has just unveiled its latest offerings, presenting an enticing selection of eight new games for the upcoming month. The September 2024 Choice selection is headlined by the critically acclaimed Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Rounding out the lineup are Stranded: Alien Dawn, Coral Island, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, Lost Eidolons, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, InfraSpace, and You Suck at Parking – Complete Edition. Additionally, subscribers will receive an alpha playtest invite for the much-anticipated time-travel adventure, Rue Valley.
As is customary, all eight titles can be claimed for a modest price of $11.99. Mark your calendars, as the next Humble Choice edition will be available starting August 5.
Epic Games Store Giveaway
This week, the Epic Games Store has made waves with a high-profile giveaway, offering players the chance to secure copies of Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts and Football Manager 2024. The latest installment in the beloved management simulation franchise, Football Manager 2024, challenges players to make critical decisions regarding team selection, on-field tactics, and strategic transfers. In contrast, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts transports players to the icy landscapes of Siberia, where they must navigate open-ended maps filled with sniping and assassination challenges that demand careful planning and execution.
This giveaway will remain active until Thursday, September 12. Looking ahead, next week’s freebie promotion will feature Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland and Super Crazy Rhythm Castle.
Indie Narrative Bundle
Earlier this week, Humble also launched an enticing bundle spotlighting indie titles with a strong narrative focus. The Summer Narrative Celebration Bundle kicks off with a three-game starting tier priced at just $1, featuring Suzerain, Death and Taxes, and Genesis Noir. For those willing to invest a bit more, the next tier includes The Pale Beyond and Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099. To complete the bundle, a total of $15 unlocks A Space for the Unbound and A Highland Song.
