Epic has unveiled the next batch of freebies heading to the Epic Games Store, with Call of the Wild: The Angler and Invincible Presents: Atom Eve both free to download from 21st March.

Starting with Call of the Wild: The Angler, it's an open-world fishing sim from Expansive Worlds, the developer of theHunter: Call of the Wild. You've got fish with different behaviours; a wide selection of rods, reels, lures, hooks, floats, and jigheads - all of which can be used as players and their pals explore the great outdoors on foot, off-road, and by boat in search of the perfect spot to cast off and take in some striking scenery.

As for Invincible Presents: Atom Eve it's a blend of visual novel and turn-based combat based on Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman's superhero comic book series, Invicible (the clue was in the name, obviously). "Become Atom Eve and take control of your own path," reads its blurb, "Unravel a mystery and balance the dangers and responsibilities of being a superhero with the relatable challenges of everyday life.

Call of the Wild: The Angler and Invincible Presents: Atom Eve will be free to add to you rEpic Games Store library for seven-days starting next Thursday, 21st March. Which means you've still got time to download Epic's current freebies: Deux Ex: Mankind Divided and The Bridge.

Additionally, the store has launched its Spring Sale, which runs from today, 14th March, for two weeks, ending on 28th March. It's a pretty good time to pick up some PC bargains then, especially as Steam's Spring Sale has also just got underway.
