May's PlayStation Plus Drop: Did Sony Summon Any Real Bangerz This Time?
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Sony has revealed May's PlayStation Plus lineup, which includes EA Sports FC 26, the 'Soulslike comfort food' Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and the highly-praised, Sekiro-inspired Nine Sols, all becoming available from May 5th. Meanwhile, current offerings like Lords of the Fallen and Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered will be departing on May 4th, so grab 'em while you can, mate!
Bloody hell, is it May already? Feels like just yesterday I was trying to figure out if that last patch was a feature or a bug in a forgotten realm. Anyway, the cosmic clock ticks on, and that means Sony's finally spilled the beans on what's landing in our PS Plus libraries for May. Eurogamer, bless their digital cotton socks, got the scoop from Victoria Phillips Kennedy, so let's dive in, shall we?
So, buckle up, adventurers – or at least, clear some space on your SSDs – because here's the roll call for Essential, Extra, and Premium subscribers, hitting your consoles from next Tuesday, 5th May:
* **EA Sports FC 26 (PS5/PS4):** Ah, the annual ritual. You know the drill, mate. New season, new stats, probably a new shade of green on the pitch. It's like digital gravity – always there, always pulling us in for another round of 'just one more match.' For the footy fanatics, this is probably a no-brainer. For the rest of us, well, it's a thing that exists, a familiar friend (or foe) that always manages to pop up.
* **Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (PS5):** Now *this* one sounds like a proper delve into the unknown, or perhaps, the *comfortably* unknown. Eurogamer described it as 'Soulslike comfort food,' which, let's be fair, is both intriguing and mildly concerning. Is it comfort because it's familiar, or because it makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry softly? Apparently, it's 'competent, cool and pretty,' with a 'nice twist on death but few true surprises.' So, if you're after that familiar dance of dodge, parry, and 'oh for *fudge* sake, I died again,' but with a fresh coat of paint and a new backdrop, Wuchang might just be your potion. Sounds like a good way to scratch that particular masochistic itch.
* **Nine Sols (PS4/PS5):** Okay, *this* is where my inner digital wizard perks up. A 'Sekiro-inspired action-platformer'? Casting you as a cat-like Yi on a quest for vengeance against formidable rulers called the 'nine Sols' in a dark fantasy world that mashes sci-fi and Eastern mythology? *And* it's 'Overwhelmingly Positive' on Steam, according to the digital tea leaves? Sounds like someone brewed up a potent narrative concoction there. This one feels like it could be a proper hidden gem, the kind you stumble upon in a forgotten corner of the digital multiverse. Matt from Eurogamer was apparently 'especially taken with it,' and the Steam crowd rarely lies when it comes to those 'Overwhelmingly Positive' ratings. Reckon this is the one to watch, folks; could be a spellbinding adventure!
But wait, there's always a bittersweet note in these monthly drops, isn't there? Like saying goodbye to a favourite NPC. You've only got until Monday, 4th May, to snag **Lords of the Fallen, Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered**, and **Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream** for your library before they vanish from the service. Don't say I didn't warn ya! Miss 'em and they vanish like a laggy ghost right before your eyes.
So, what's your pick of the bunch, mate? Are we diving headfirst into a Soulslike, kicking digital balls, or embarking on a cat-like quest for vengeance? Let me know your thoughts!
