Rumors Swirl That The Elder Scrolls Online Will Be Free On Epic Next Week Alongside Fortnite Crossover

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. 

It's worth noting that while leakers are pointing to the free-to-claim promotion and Fortnite crossover, nothing has been confirmed by either Epic Games or ZeniMax. 

Also free via Epic on July 20th will be Murder by Numbers, an indie adventure game where players are tasked with solving a murder mystery. Right now you can claim Train Valley 2 until July 20th, letting you live out your train tycoon dreams.

The Elder Scrolls Online just revealed some detials for its upcoming Update 39, which hit the public test server on PC earlier this week. The most recent Chapter expansion, Necrom, released in June. Catch up with our review.
