If it happened a day or two before the official announcement, we’d still be able to understand, but already five days seems a bit messy, because Sony apparently can’t prevent the leaks.
On the French website Dealabs, we’ve seen Billbil-kun almost every month during the year, who during leaks has been pinpointing which games PlayStation Plus (and then PlayStation Plus Essential after the three-tier upgrade) subscribers can add free to game catalogs in the following month. This time the On Twitter he dropped the list, and since he was indeed foolproof during 2022, what he writes can be taken seriously.
According to the leak, January’s PlayStation Plus Essential pull title will be Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. There’s a good chance that Electronic Arts, the game’s publisher, paid Sony for it. still draw attention to the sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, arriving in March. The game itself is pretty good, so it’s a fair tie. The second game will also be available for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4: it will be Axiom Verge 2. So this game would be the indie pick of the month.
Let’s give a separate paragraph to the third game, even if we can only find a PlayStation 4 version of it. This game was one of the worst games of 2018 and often received negative marketing due to the publisher: we can expect Fallout 76 from Bethesda Game Studios. No, the game hasn’t released the key yet, and yes, this might be the “why THIS game?” of January? theme for subscribers. And since Bethesda Game Studios is already part of Xbox Game Studios, we have the awkward situation of talking about a game from a studio that already belongs to Microsoft on the rival platform.
Of course all of this is unofficial, but on Wednesday afternoon at 6:30pm Sony will still be announcing the January three and you can bet that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Axiom Verge 2 and Fallout 76 will be the three.
