If it's free, it's for me 🙅♂️🤑
We are now in the last quarter of the year 2022. The year is nearly over, but gaming is just getting started. Fall is usually when the biggest video game releases happen and this year it is no different. There are loads of big-budget games that will be coming out at full price such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, God of War Ragnarök, Evil West, and more.
Although I look forward to those games, I'm also equally as excited about the many free-to-play options coming to gamers at the end of 2022. I have four games that I wish to share with you today, all of which are multiplayer. Some you may know about already and others may be a surprise. All will be available on PC and PS4/PS5, some on Xbox, and one of them will even be on SWITCH.
1. Century: Age of Ashes
Release Date: Out Now on PC/XBOX/PLAYSTATION
I've talked about this game before, but the PlayStation launch was a boinked and I haven't been able to get my hands on it yet since all of my gaming is done on PS5. Xbox and PC players have already been able to enjoy this game for a while now and I am ready to join the action.
This is basically an aerial dogfighting multiplayer game where you mount a dragon and fight other dragons in the sky in various game modes. It looks incredibly fun, despite the fact that I usually don't like flying games that much. It's also just one of the most unique games I've seen in ages (pun intended).
My first tattoo was a massive half sleeve dragon, so I have always thought that the winged beasts were cool. Plus I have been watching the House of the Dragon and I'm just really in the mood for a dragon game like this. I just finished downloading it this morning and will have some gameplay footage coming sometime this week once I've been able to play it for a few hours.

2. Deathverse: Let It Die
Release Date: PS4/PS5 on 09/28/2022 and PC on 10/05/2022.
I feel like this might be the most unknown game on this list. Even I have been sleeping on it a little bit. For instance, I had the beta downloaded back when it was available at the end of May and I never got around to playing it. I still have no idea what this game is like to play, but something about the trailers really just has me intrigued.
This is a free-for-all arena deathmatch game where you are a contestant in a tv show that is a fight to the death. It's third-person POV and mostly melee-focused. The character and weapons designs look really unique, almost steampunk-like mixed with some futuristic stuff. It's a really cool blend, but I'm not convinced it will be amazing until I've actually been able to play it.
It's a bit odd that it is not also releasing on Xbox, much like Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt which is also exclusive to PlayStation and PC only. At least PS4 gamers will be able to play Deathverse, unlike Bloodhunt.

3. Overwatch 2
Release Date: 10/04/2022 on PLAYSTATION/XBOX/NINTENDO SWITCH/PC
This has been a long time coming. The original Overwatch was released all the way back in 2016 and even today has a ton of people still playing it. It has held up very well over the years and it makes sense why Overwatch 2 is basically just a continuation of the game, with a few tweaks and some added content.
The developers at Blizzard have been under a lot of scrutiny the past few years, but there is no denying that they know how to create some of the best games. I believe the long wait for Overwatch 2 can largely be blamed on issues at Blizzard, but it looks like even that will not stop the game from coming out finally.
Overwatch 2 is transitioning into a F2P model and will get rid of the loot boxes in favor of a Battle Pass. I'm actually not happy the loot boxes are going away, because it was extremely easy to unlock free ones daily and I was able to gather quite the collection of cosmetics just from playing the game. I'm sure that the Battle Pass will make it to where you have to pay to get the best-looking stuff. At least the game is free, as long as you can ignore the temptation of cool skins.
The original Overwatch will soon cease to exist since it is evolving into Overwatch 2. Your old content will transition over, but some things will be slightly different. Many of the old characters have been reworked and there are several new characters that have already been revealed. There will be new maps and some slight alterations to how the game feels. Plus it will finally have next-gen versions. I'm super excited to play this with support for 120 fps and hopefully, they don't forget to take advantage of the PS5's amazing DualSense controller's adaptive triggers and haptics.

4. Gundam Evolution
Release Date: Out now on PC and 12/01/22 for PLAYSTATION/XBOX
This is the only game on this list that I've had the chance to play already. I was able to play some of the beta at the end of June 2022. PC gamers are already deep into the action with their release already happening, but console gamers will join the fray soon enough.
Even if you are not a fan of Gundam, you will still enjoy this game if you like competitive hero shooters. This game is very similar to Overwatch, except the pacing is much quicker. Many of the different character options feel similar to things you may have experienced in Overwatch or Paladins, but they do have their own Gundam flair of course. I found the game to be pretty enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it is quite as good as Overwatch.
There will be some people that really love this game. It is a ton of fun to play with friends and the skill cap is pretty high. You can be okay at this game and have a decent time, but if you are really good at fast-paced FPS games, then you may fall in love with this one.

These are just some of the F2P games being released during the rest of 2022. Surely there are more, but it is nearly impossible to keep up with all of them. That's not even counting beyond 2022. Anyone who says there aren't any good games to play must be sleeping under a rock.
