Hold onto your controllers, because it seems the rumor mill has churned out some juicy tidbits about two major PS5 titles set to grace the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, courtesy of an insider whose track record reads like a crystal ball for the gaming community.
Insider Info: Billbil-Kun Strikes Again
Introducing the all-knowing oracle of gaming leaks—billbil-kun! This individual has cultivated a fine reputation for spilling the beans on upcoming hardware and software more reliably than a gossip columnist at a celebrity wedding. And guess what? The buzz is that there are two blockbuster titles on the way for the Extra and Premium tiers of the Game Catalog.
First Up: Assassin’s Creed Mirage
First on the chopping block is the much-anticipated Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Set in the 9th-century (because who doesn’t love a good historical jaunt?), Mirage transports players to the bustling streets of Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age. Talk about a trip for the history buffs!
This game is pitched as a heartfelt tribute to the series’ origins. Players will navigate the life of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a street thief who, in a classic plot twist, decides to join the Hidden Ones. Because what better way to spend one’s time than grappling with ancient orders while snatching wallets?
And speaking of updates—a little something called the “Valley of Memory” just dropped. This major update promises around six hours of gameplay, although it’s stirred up a bit of controversy thanks to some cozy collaborator vibes with the Savvy Games investment group, founded by the discerning financial wizards of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Nothing says “fun” like mixing politics and video games, right?
The Second Contender: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Next up, gamers can gear up for the action-packed Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Created by the maestros at Team Ninja, led by the celebrity duo of Fumihiko Yasuda and Masaaki Yamagiwa, this game promises a whole new level of slashing and power-ups. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could experience ancient China while dispatching foes left and right,” this is probably the game for you.
The Countdown Begins
According to the ever-elusive billbil-kun, these exciting additions are poised to hit the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on Tuesday, December 16. And hold the phones—rumor has it there might even be an appearance by SoulCalibur 3 in the Classics Catalog. Who doesn’t love a good fighter to brawl it out with friends?
In the meantime, two titles already graced December’s catalog: the stylish remaster of Red Dead Redemption (just in case modern graphics were needed to relive cowboy escapades) which hit shelves on December 2, and Devolver Digital’s quirky skateboarding journey, Skate Story, that rolled in on December 8. Who knew virtual skating could be so… artistic?
Stay tuned, dear gamers! The official reveal from Sony is just around the corner, which means the clock is ticking for unable-to-wait enthusiasts. Prepare those thumbs; great things are about to be unlocked!
