Summary:

Knightica is scheduled to be free to keep on Epic from November 12 to November 19, 2026 at 10 a.m. CST. It was not yet claimable at the November 6 check.

Knightica is scheduled to be free to keep on the Epic Games Store from November 12 to November 19, 2026. This is an upcoming Windows PC base-game giveaway, not a claim available now: Epic's product page still showed Coming Soon during our November 6 check.

The scheduled window opens at 10 a.m. CST on Thursday, November 12 and closes at 10 a.m. CST on Thursday, November 19. Those times are 16:00 UTC on both dates, as listed in Epic's US promotion data. Check the official Knightica listing once the window opens before completing a claim.

What the giveaway covers

  • Game: Knightica, developed by Mad Mango Games and published by Goblinz Publishing.
  • Store and platform: Epic Games Store, Windows PC.
  • Offer: a scheduled free-to-keep base-game claim, not a demo, subscription benefit or temporary free weekend.
  • Account: an Epic account is required. The claim goes to that account's library, not to Steam.

Epic's weekly giveaway format lets you keep a successfully claimed game in your library after its free promotion ends. You still need to claim it during the offer window. A wishlist entry is not a completed claim, and the November 12 Epic availability date should not be confused with the game's original August 2025 release.

This coverage confirms the base game only. Do not assume separate DLC, soundtracks or another platform's edition are included. Regional availability and the final checkout screen should be checked on your own account; this report uses the US store offer.

A warband built around placement and combinations

Knightica is a turn-based roguelike autobattler. Rather than directly steering every attack, you recruit units, arrange and rotate them, and look for ways their abilities work together. Choices between encounters, upgrades and spending shape the army you take into later fights.

That makes the giveaway most interesting for players who enjoy experimenting with team composition. The publisher describes different commanders, troops and routes through increasingly difficult encounters, so a failed run can be a reason to try a different combination. This is an overview of official game information, not a hands-on review or a promise that every strategy will work.

Before the claim window opens

Use the Windows requirements on the product page to check compatibility, then return during the promotion and confirm that the base-game claim is free before submitting it. Afterward, verify that Knightica appears in your Epic library. There is no need to buy it ahead of the scheduled giveaway simply because its page is already visible.

For the current week's separate offer, see our Flotsam giveaway guide. Its claim window ends when Knightica's is scheduled to begin; the two games require separate claims.
