14 DAY TRIAL // Following the reveal of its overhauled PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now services, Sony announced the game joining its PS Plus lineup in April. The name of the games leaked one day before the official announcement, so today’s reveal isn’t surprising at all.
First off, both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players will be getting Hood: Outlaws & Legends, an online multiplayer game where rival gangs compete in heists. The game also features a full coop PvE mode called State Heist where teams control spawn points to recuperate as much gold as possible.
If you haven’t played Hood: Outlaws & Legends yet, then you may also want to know that the game promises unique skills and mystical abilities, as well as the ability to recruit your own band of outlaws to master fortresses and outplay rivals.
Slay the Spire is one of the most popular deckbuilder games ever created. Players start their runs with a basic deck, which they can improve with new cards and abilities as they progress. Throughout an adventure there will be powerful relics to discover and formidable enemies and bosses to defeat, so you’ll have to think strategically when building your deck. Slay the Spire is coming to PS Plus members on PlayStation 4.
Finally, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, the classic platformer joins the PS Plus collection and if you have at least a PlayStation 4 console, you’ll be able to add it to your library. Speaking of which, all three PS Plus games for April will be available to add to your library on April 5.
In other news, in a surprising turn of events, Sony announced that Persona 5 will leave the PS Plus Collection on May 11. However, if you add the game to your game library before then, you’ll be able to continue to play it while you’re a PS Plus member.
