Stay tuned for more information later in this article.
Now, let’s get back to the games!
It Takes Two | PS4, PS5
It Takes Two is a unique platform adventure designed exclusively for co-op play. Whether you prefer local or online co-op with split-screen functionality, this game invites you to team up with a friend—invite them for free with the Friend’s Pass—and tackle a wide array of delightfully challenging gameplay scenarios. Play as Cody and May, a bickering couple turned into dolls by a magical spell. Journey through their fantastical world, filled with surprises at every turn, as they strive to repair their fractured relationship. Every level introduces a new set of skills to master and obstacles to overcome, coupled with laugh-out-loud situations like battling gangster squirrels, piloting underwear, or DJing in a nightclub. It’s a heartwarming and humorous story that intertwines gameplay and narrative in a metaphorical experience.
Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
Prepare to keep your squad alive against the most lethal threat humanity has ever encountered. Aliens: Dark Descent is a real-time strategy game where you lead a seasoned team of colonial marines to contain a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Encounter iconic Xenomorphs and other enemies from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, along with creatures new to the Alien universe. As you infiltrate expansive levels, you’ll need to strategically command your squad, as enemies will adapt to your tactics and pursue you relentlessly. Be cautious, as lives are at stake and death is permanent.
Temtem | PS5
Dreams of becoming a Temtem tamer can now become a reality. Explore the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago, discover new species, and make lifelong friends. Catch and train Temtem on Omninesia’s floating islands, challenge other tamers on the beaches of Deniz, or trade with friends in Tucma’s ash-covered fields. Stand against Clan Belsoto’s plan to dominate the Archipelago, conquer all eight Dojo Leaders, and become the ultimate Temtem master.
These games will be available to PlayStation Plus members from December 3 to January 6.
