From tough boss battles in parallel worlds to the return of gaming icon Lara Croft: Sony is adding three new titles to the Playstation Plus Essential range in April.
Sony has announced the monthly games package for all Playstation Plus subscribers on 1 April 2026. And we promise it's no April Fool's joke. From 7 April, three titles that could hardly be more different will be available: a challenging dark fantasy action RPG, a remaster three-pack with cult classics and a large-scale anime co-op adventure. The package is available to members of all plan levels until 4 May 2026.
«Lords of the Fallen»
When: 7 April
Where: PS5
Year: 2023
«Lords of the Fallen» is a dark action role-playing game that is strongly orientated towards the Soulslike formula. You explore a decaying fantasy world, fight challenging enemies and develop your character step by step.
The parallel world mechanic is central: In addition to the world of the living, there is a second level that you can enter. Both dimensions are interwoven and change the routing, enemy placement and tactical options.
The combat system relies on precise timing, dodging and targeted attacks. The game consistently penalises mistakes, but rewards you with a tangible sense of progression as you adapt to the mechanics and improve your playstyle.
«Tomb Raider I-III Remastered»
When: 7 April
Where: PS4, PS5
Year: 2024
The remastered collection combines the first three «Tomb Raider» parts in a technically remastered version. You accompany Lara Croft through extensive level structures, solve classic environmental puzzles and search for hidden secrets. The focus is on exploration and spatial understanding, less on staged guidance.
The remaster version allows you to switch between classic and modern graphics at any time, allowing you to directly compare the development of the series. In addition, an alternative control system is available that is more in line with today's standards. Despite technical adjustments, the original game design is retained and deliberately conveys the feel of the 90s.
«Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream»
When: 7 April
Where: PS5
Year: 2024
«Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream» is a multiplayer action game designed for co-operative battles. You put together a team of familiar characters and compete with other players in instanced missions. The battles are fast-paced and rely on a clear division of roles within the group. Different skills complement each other and encourage a coordinated approach.
The flow of the game is designed for replayability: Missions can be completed multiple times while you improve equipment and develop characters. The structure remains deliberately accessible without sacrificing tactical elements. The focus is on dynamic interaction, which is particularly effective when played as a team.
