Rumor: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (and more) Likely free to grab next week at the Epic Games Store
It is getting fairly impressive with the freebie giveaways at the Epic game Story, Currently when you head over to the store you cab grab a free copy of GTA-V. However, next week, it might be that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt GOTY is eligible for a free grab. Also Civilization VI, Borderlands The Handsome Collection, and ARK Survival Evolved are on the roadmap.
Wario64 who noticed the GTA-V giveaway early, reports on Twitter, a page dedicated to The Witcher 3 appeared on the Epic Games Store only to be removed shortly after. Some traces indicated a redirect to a domain in use by Epic Games to store the store images, and it is showing the cover of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Game of the Year Edition.
This image practically confirms that the CD Projekt RED RPG will get included at the Epic Games Store. Also, the rush to delete it by Epic indicates that it is a secret they want to keep. Will it be next week's free grab? For now, it's nothing more than speculation though with what happened with GTA-V, you never know. Hey everybody loves free stuff right? Especially the good stuff.
Update: while I was writing this news item I was forwarded a leaked slide that is listing the free games plan, now that slide from Posted by u/Chandigarhian is unverified and does not include Witcher III, but is listing Civilization VI, Borderlands The Handsome Collection, and ARK Survival Evolved. Check it out:

Witcher 3, the only game good enough that I'll get it again on Epic despite already owning it and all the DLC on GOG.

Epic is putting the pressure on Steam this week. Pun intended. Seriously though yesterday I actually bought my first two games on EGS because I couldn't pass up a good deal. Steam will always be number one to me, but they've never really had any serious competition. Interesting week for PC gaming.
