Alright, let’s dive in. Not sure how long it’s been now—15 years?—since PlayStation Plus kicked off. Crazy, huh? Anyway, here’s the hot scoop for August. Mortal Kombat 1 is back, and trust me, it’s brutal. Try swinging through Marvel’s New York as Spider-Man or fend off alien hordes in Earth Defense Force 6. August’s PlayStation Plus lineup has you covered. Oh, and Sword of the Sea makes a splash straight into the Game Catalog. Resident Evil 2 and 3 bring some old-school horror vibes to the Deluxe. Mark your calendars—August 19 is the day!
Now, before you run off, there’s Death Stranding 2 to think about. Wait, what’s it? “On the Beach”? Up to 5 hours in a time-limited trial, and if you’re hooked, your progress sticks. Nice.
Speaking of Mortal Kombat 1—for PS5 this time—lots happened after MK11’s cliffhanger. Fire God Liu Kang is up to something big. New Era, new vibes. The story mode is like a movie, honestly. You’ve got new twists in friendships and rivalries, plus backstories that change what you thought you knew.
Spider-Man fans, brace yourselves. PS5 and PS4 players get their fix in different ways. This Peter Parker isn’t fresh off the block—he’s a pro. Balancing hero stuff with day-to-day life? Not easy, but he does it. Worldwide drop on August 19.
Sword of the Sea is all about, well, surfing on sandwaves. Weird, I know. But it’s got this hoversword that’s part skateboard, part snowboard, and surfboard. Fast-paced yet chill. Odd mix.
Earth Defense Force 6? It’s chaos, really. World’s trashed, aliens everywhere, but give it your best shot. Alone or co-op, your call. Coming to Southeast Asia mostly on August 19, but Singapore, a little later.
Oh, did I mention Unicorn Overlord? Think fantasy RPG meets tactical battles. It’s ATLUS x Vanillaware magic. Whole new world to dive into.
There’s more—Atelier Ryza 3, going on an adventure with mystery islands and a “Code of the Universe.” What’s that about? I don’t even know. Releasing same day across the region (mostly).
Indika mixes mystery with religion—all while following a nun. It’s a wild tale with a devilish sidekick. Maybe odd, but intriguing.
And then there’s Harold Halibut. Imagine living on a giant spaceship. Been below the sea for generations, trying to get home. Restless.
Coral Island’s about leaving city life. Build a farm, make friends, save coral reefs. Simple, but heartwarming. Comes out around the same time, August 19 kinda seems the magic date here.
Resident Evil returns—both the second and third—packed with improved visuals and all those funky features you want. Feel the adrenaline from the original days.
Anyway, keep an eye on the PlayStation Store for any region-specific quirks. You don’t want to miss out.
