Epic is giving away Nova Lands, and this one looks perfect for players who enjoy cozy automation with just enough danger to keep things spicy.
You start on a new planet. Then you gather resources, build a base, explore nearby islands, and slowly turn everything into a neat little production machine. Very innocent at first. Then suddenly you have conveyor belts, bots, factories, upgrades, and a deep need to optimize copper output at 1 AM.

Nova Lands mixes base building, exploration, automation, and light combat. Think Forager, Factorio-lite, and a bit of cute sci-fi survival. You can automate work with helper bots, discover new biomes, meet NPCs, fight creatures, and keep expanding your tiny space empire. The Epic page describes it as a factory-building, exploration, and island-management game.
Epic lists Nova Lands as free from July 9 to July 16, 2026. Once you claim it, it stays in your Epic library.
