Get ready for an exciting co-op adventure with a sprinkle of humor this December! Engage in thoughtful tactics to survive an alien onslaught and embark on a journey of discovery with PlayStation Plus’s lineup. Mark your calendars for December 3, as It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem, all make their grand entrance for PlayStation Plus members.
Before diving into the games, let’s explore some of the thrilling activities that PlayStation Plus has in store for December as part of their 30th-anniversary celebrations. You might have caught a glimpse of this earlier this year, but there’s more to it. Expect Tournaments, a free Online Multiplayer Weekend, early access to Classic Games, and a PlayStation Plus Premium Game Trial. More details are tucked away inside this post.
Let’s get back to the good stuff—games!
It Takes Two | PS4, PS5
Dive into a genre-defying platform adventure designed exclusively for co-op play in It Takes Two. Whether you’re going for couch or online co-op, enjoy split-screen fun as you and a buddy tackle a myriad of exciting and disruptive gameplay challenges. Play as Cody and May—our bickering couple turned into dolls by a magical spell. Trapped in an unpredictable world, they’re on a reluctant quest to mend their broken relationship. Each level unveils new character abilities that are uniquely tied to each other, compelling you both to overcome unexpected hurdles and embracing laugh-out-loud moments along the way. From squaring off against gangster squirrels to piloting a pair of underpants, this game promises a heartfelt story entwined with hilarious escapades.
Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
Assemble your squad and prepare for a high-stakes battle in Aliens: Dark Descent. Experience real-time combat strategy as you manage a team of seasoned colonial marines to halt a chilling Xenomorph invasion on Moon Lethe. Command your squad through expansive open levels, confronting iconic Xenomorphs, rogue Weyland-Yutani Corporation agents, and other horrifying creatures birthed in the Alien universe. Formulate strategies, dispatch orders, and always stay one step ahead as your enemies adapt to your every move, making each encounter a gripping experience where death is permanent.
Temtem | PS5
Every aspiring Temtem tamer dreams of exploring the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago. In this epic venture, you can capture new Temtem on Omninesia’s floating islands, engage in battles or trade with friends. Bring down the troublesome Clan Belsoto and thwart their plans of domination, challenge all eight Dojo Leaders, and aim to be the ultimate Temtem tamer.
All three games are available to PlayStation Plus members starting December 3, and they’ll hang around until January 6.
