Sony has officially announced the lineup of PlayStation Plus monthly games for August, offering a grim soulslike, a hardcore survival simulation and a vibrant anime fighter.
Starting Aug. 5, all PlayStation Plus members can add “Lies of P,” “DayZ,” and “My Hero One’s Justice 2” to their game library at no extra cost.
Here is a closer look at the titles coming to the service.
‘Lies of P’ (PS5, PS4)
Inspired by the classic tale of Pinocchio, “Lies of P” is a dark soulslike set in the Belle Époque-inspired city of Krat. Players control the puppet Pinocchio on a quest to find his creator, Mr. Geppetto, while battling monstrous puppets and navigating a city lost to madness. The game features a deep combat system with a variety of weapons and swappable “Legion Arms” that grant special abilities. To achieve the goal of becoming human, players will face choices that require them to lie.
‘DayZ’ (PS4)
In the post-apocalyptic world of “DayZ,” the only goal is to survive. This hardcore online survival game drops up to 60 players onto sprawling maps—including the original Chernarus and the 163-square-kilometer Livonia—where they must contend with zombie-like infected and other, often more dangerous, players. With no checkpoints or saves, death is permanent. When your character dies, you lose all your progress and must start over from scratch.
‘My Hero One’s Justice 2’ (PS4)
The fight for justice continues in “My Hero One’s Justice 2.” Based on the hit anime series, this 3D arena fighter allows players to form teams of heroes and villains and clash in epic battles across large, destructible environments. Players can make full use of each character’s unique “Quirk” in this over-the-top sequel to “My Hero One’s Justice.”
Free PlayStation 15th Anniversary Avatars
The celebration for the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus continues in August. Starting Aug. 5, all members can claim a special set of free avatars. These feature art from popular titles including “Cyberpunk 2077,” “Hogwarts Legacy,” “Diablo IV,” “God of War Ragnarök” and “Twisted Metal.”
Last Chance for July’s PS Plus Games
PlayStation Plus subscribers have until Aug. 4 to add the July monthly games to their library. Don’t miss out on “Diablo IV,” “The King of Fighters XV,” and “Jusant.”
