Red Orchestra 2 "free to keep forever" on Steam in next 24 hours

World War Two shooter Red Orchestra 2 is going to go entirely free later today and will remain so for 24 hours. Should you grab the game during that time then it'll remain yours forever at no charge - for reals.

They'll also be rolling into a "free weekend for Rising Storm" starting Friday, with a discount on offer. Tripwire is hoping to entice us with a free first fix with Red Orchestra 2.

Should your addiction kick in then you'll be at the mercy of their deal-peddling. "Yes, Free!" announced Tripwire's Jared Creasy. Simply pick it up through the Steam store.

It's unclear exactly when the deal begins but mostly likely it will start in a few hours when Steam traditionally counts a new day and refreshes its sales. Owning Red Orchestra 2 grants "rifle-only" access to Rising Storm, and not the entire game, which is set in the Pacific theatre and was recently updated free to a GOTY edition.
