April PlayStation Plus Essential Game Leaked
▼ Summary
– The 2023 Souls-like game *Lords of the Fallen* from Hexworks has leaked as an upcoming PS Plus title for April 2026.
– It will be available for all PS Plus tiers (Essential, Extra, Premium) from April 7th until May 5th, 2026.
– The game received a poor initial critical reception due to performance issues and clichés.
– The developer has since improved the game significantly from its launch state.
– A sequel to *Lords of the Fallen* was announced to be in development in 2024.
Ahead of the official announcement, a key title for the April 2026 PlayStation Plus Essential lineup has been revealed. The report indicates that the Souls-like action-RPG Lords of the Fallen will join the subscription catalog next month. This refers specifically to the 2023 release from developer Hexworks, not the original 2014 game of the same name.
According to the leak, the title will be accessible to all PS Plus subscribers across the Essential, Extra, and Premium membership tiers starting April 7th. The game will be available to add to libraries until May 5th, following the standard monthly claim window.
The game’s initial reception was mixed, with critics pointing to technical issues and familiar genre tropes. One prominent review at the time described it as missing the refined execution of its inspirations. Since its launch, however, Hexworks has delivered numerous patches and updates that have significantly improved the experience. The title is now widely considered to be in a much more polished and enjoyable state. Following this revitalization, publisher CI Games confirmed in 2024 that a sequel is officially in development.
Sony is expected to formally unveil the full April PlayStation Plus lineup shortly. This addition continues the service’s pattern of offering recent, substantial titles to its members each month.
