Embark on a comedy-filled co-op journey, put your strategic skills to the test against the ultimate predator, and dive into the thrill of discovering and taming extraordinary creatures—all with the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games offering for December! Mark your calendars for December 3, when It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem become available for PlayStation Plus members.
Before delving into each exciting game, let’s chat about the PlayStation Plus festivities happening in December as part of PlayStation’s 30th-anniversary celebration. If you’ve caught any previews earlier this year, you know there’s a lot to look forward to! Prepare for tournaments, a free Online Multiplayer Weekend, PlayStation Plus Premium Game Trials, early access to Classic Games, and more. Stay tuned for more details later in this post.
Now, let’s dive back into the game details!
It Takes Two | PS4, PS5
It Takes Two is not your typical platform adventure—it’s designed exclusively for cooperative play. Whether you’re playing in the same room or online with split-screen action, you can invite a friend to join you for free using the Friend’s Pass. Embark on a journey with Cody and May, a couple turned into dolls by a magical spell. They find themselves in a whimsical world where surprises await at every corner, and their mission? To mend their fractured relationship. Together, you’ll navigate through numerous, delightful challenges full of unexpected obstacles, laughter, and genuinely entertaining scenarios. From battling squirrel mobsters to DJing like pros, It Takes Two masterfully combines heartfelt storytelling with engaging gameplay.
Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
Gear up to protect your team from the most lethal threat humanity has ever faced. Aliens: Dark Descent thrusts you into a strategic combat scenario where you lead colonial marines in real-time. Your mission? Stop a deadly Xenomorph infestation on Moon Lethe. Face iconic foes and new terrors unique to the Alien universe, infiltrating expansive levels while directing your squad’s actions with precision. Beware, though—the enemies will adapt their strategies and ruthlessly hunt you down, so every command counts. Remember, in Aliens: Dark Descent, a mistake can mean permanent consequences.
Temtem | PS5
Imagine becoming a Temtem tamer, exploring the vibrant islands of the Airborne Archipelago, and forging friendships along the way. Now, it’s your chance to turn that dream into reality. You’ll roam Omninesia’s floating lands, challenge fellow tamers on Deniz’s sandy beaches, and engage in the bustling trade within Tucma’s ashen fields. Push back against the nefarious Clan Belsoto’s scheme to dominate the Archipelago, conquer all eight Dojo leaders, and emerge as the ultimate Temtem tamer.
All these thrilling games will be available for PlayStation Plus members from December 3 to January 6.
A quick reminder for PlayStation Plus members: Grab November’s gems—Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Death Note Killer Within—before they roll out on December 2.
