Epic Games' next round of free games is slated to arrive on July 20th with ZeniMax's MMO The Elder Scrolls Online headlining. This is while rumors are swirling that the next Fortnite crossover will include the Elder Scrolls Online.
It appears that Epic themselves may have accidentally leaked the Free Game announcement, as it's now been removed from the launcher. The leaked image shows ESO as being one of the Epic Games free games being given away from July 20th through the 27th. This will likely only be the base version and not include any of the recent expansions or DLC, but it's a ton of content to start.
Interestingly, it seems data miners have also uncovered files that point to the free offering, but also a crossover event with Fortnite itself, bringing skins inspired by the MMO. The leaks come from popular Fortnite data-miner iFireMonkey and ShiinaBR.
