Here’s a look at PS Plus offerings for April:
and immortals
EA’s first-person magic shooter Immortals of Evil lets players wear magical weapons and cast ranged magic at monsters and sorcerers, Call of Duty-style. Ascendant Studios’ action-adventure shooter drops players into Avium, a magical land plagued by a long-running conflict. You play as Jack, a rookie soldier in the Everwar who discovers his magical powers and joins an elite group of war wizards to repel the dark forces.
First-person shooter fans will feel right at home in Immortals of Avum (Review). Although there are no guns here, spell combat works in much the same way. Players have a range of offensive and defensive spells at their disposal and the game features a semi-open hub world that can be explored for gear, challenges, side quests, and boss battles. The game will be available on PS5.
minecraft legends
Last year’s real-time strategy game is a spinoff of Mojang’s original game. Minecraft Legends has many of the same features as base building and resource harvesting of Minecraft. In the game players are tasked with protecting the world from piglin invasion by establishing defenses, buildings, and armies.
Once players have gathered resources and prepare for battle, they can capture piglin outposts and thwart piglin attacks on friendly villages. The game features a single-player campaign, where players go up against piglin gangs and bosses. Minecraft Legends also includes co-op and competitive multiplayer PvP modes, where players can compete against other players online. The game is available on both PS4 and PS5.
Skull: Hero Slayer
The PS Plus April lineup also includes Skuld: The Hero Slayer, a roguelike-action platformer developed by Southpaw Games that puts players in the shoes of Skuld, a skeleton soldier in the Demon King’s army. As Skul, you go through winding levels and fight against heroes to save the demon race.
Like roguelike games, Skull: The Hero Slayer features procedurally generated levels and numerous boss fights. Players can attack, dodge, and teleport in battle and find new gear and abilities to become stronger. The hero’s skull can also be replaced with different skulls that bring unique abilities. The action platformer is available on both PS4 and PS5.
This month, Sony is also offering the Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle to PS Plus members, which includes cosmetics and Battle Pass bonuses. Earlier this month, PlayStation also revealed the list of games coming to its game catalog, which is available to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/Premium tier subscribers. March titles include NBA 2K24, Marvel’s Midnight Sons, Resident Evil 3, Lego DC Supervillains, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and more.
