Immerse yourself in a comedic co-op journey, devise strategies to face a relentless adversary, and discover new species with the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games starting this December. Mark your calendars for December 3, when PlayStation Plus members will gain access to the delightful titles It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem.
Before diving into the details of these exciting games, let’s take a moment to highlight some special PlayStation Plus events happening in December as part of the grand PlayStation 30th anniversary festivities. If you caught a sneak peek earlier this year, there are plenty of activities to look forward to, including Tournaments, a free Online Multiplayer Weekend, and early previews of Classic Games. Learn more about these offerings later in this post.
Now, on to the games themselves!
It Takes Two | PS4, PS5
Step into the whimsical world of "It Takes Two," a groundbreaking platform adventure designed exclusively for co-op play. Whether you decide on a couch or online co-op with split-screen, invite a friend for free using the Friend’s Pass and embark on a journey filled with wonderfully chaotic gameplay challenges. You’ll assume the roles of Cody and May, a bickering couple magically transformed into dolls. Thrust into a fantastical realm where surprises lurk around every corner, they must save their crumbling relationship. Each level brings unique abilities for both characters, urging them to overcome a host of unexpected obstacles and comedic scenarios. From battling fuzzy gangster squirrels and piloting underwear to DJing at a lively club and riding a bobsleigh through a magical snow globe, this hilarious and heartfelt story intertwines narrative and gameplay in a uniquely metaphorical experience.
Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
In "Aliens: Dark Descent," get ready to guide your team through the most formidable challenges humanity has ever faced. This real-time tactical combat game puts you at the helm of a squad of seasoned colonial marines tasked with halting a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Battle iconic Xenomorphs, rogue Weyland-Yutani operatives, and new terrifying creatures from the Alien universe. Explore massive open environments as you lead your squad, deploying orders strategically. Remember, your foes are cunning, learning from your moves and hunting you down, and the stakes are high—death is permanent.
Temtem | PS5
Ever dreamed of becoming a Temtem tamer? Now is your chance. Set out on a thrilling adventure across the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago, discovering new species and forging friendships along the way. Capture fresh Temtem on the floating islands of Omninesia, challenge fellow tamers on Deniz’s sandy shores, or trade with friends in Tucma’s ash-laden fields. Confront the pesky Clan Belsoto and halt their plot for dominion over the Archipelago, defeat all eight DojoLeaders, and earn your title as the ultimate Temtem tamer.
All these fantastic games will be available for PlayStation Plus members from December 3 through January 6.
