Immortals of Aveum headlines April’s PS Plus monthly games

<p>Sony <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:1;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://blog.playstation.com/2024/03/27/playstation-plus-monthly-games-for-april-immortals-of-aveum-minecraft-legends-skul-the-hero-slayer/" data-original-link="https://blog.playstation.com/2024/03/27/playstation-plus-monthly-games-for-april-immortals-of-aveum-minecraft-legends-skul-the-hero-slayer/">unveiled[/url] April’s PlayStation Plus monthly games on Wednesday. The batch includes Immortals of Aveum, Minecraft Legends, Skul: The Hero Slayer and an Overwatch 2 skins-and-skips bundle. Subscribers on PS Plus’ Essential, Extra and Premium tiers can claim the titles starting Tuesday, April 2.</p>
<p>Immortals of Aveum (PS5) showed promise, but its “first-person shooter with magic instead of guns” formula didn’t fare incredibly well commercially. The EA-published game was met with mixed reviews, and its release date —&nbsp;competing against the likes of <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/baldurs-gate-3-is-available-now-on-xbox-series-xs-040406055.html">Baldur’s Gate III[/url], <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/armored-core-vi-fires-of-rubicon-review-fromsoftware-mech-game-150015742.html">Armored Core VI[/url] and <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/starfield-review-you-will-like-some-of-it-160046067.html">Starfield[/url] — likely didn’t help. That led to indie developer Ascendant Studios <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/immortals-of-aveum-developer-ascendant-studios-lays-off-almost-half-its-staff-161523899.html">laying off nearly half its staff[/url] a few weeks after launch. Still, despite its suspiciously smooth mechanics and too-sparse crowds, we <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/immortals-of-aveum-first-look-a-little-more-magic-and-this-might-be-wonderful-133034089.html">liked its cinematics and satisfyingly powerful magical attacks[/url], so it could be worth checking out risk-free with your subscription.</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p><a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/minecraft-legends-xbox-pc-april-18-release-date-202440516.html">Minecraft Legends[/url] (PS5 / PS4) takes the best-selling game of all time and spins it off into a real-time action-strategy game. In the franchise's blocky style, players form alliances to defeat invading piglins from the Nether dimension. The game includes a single-player story mode and multiplayer for up to eight players.</p>
<p>Skul: The Hero Slayer (PS4) is a retro 2D side-scrolling roguelike. You play as a skeleton who can swap skulls — and, in turn, abilities — with his slain enemies. (Convenient!) The game lets you select two ability types and encourages quick-switching during combat.</p>
<p>In addition to those three games, all PlayStation Plus subscribers can snag an exclusive <a data-i13n="cpos:8;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/overwatch-2-players-wont-have-to-pay-or-grind-through-a-battle-pass-to-unlock-new-heroes-183729811.html">Overwatch 2[/url] Mega Bundle in April. The pack includes nine skins and five Battle Pass Tier Skips. You’ll first need to download Overwatch 2 from the PlayStation Store, and the bundle should show up in-game immediately (whether you’re a new or returning player).</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/immortals-of-aveum-headlines-aprils-ps-plus-monthly-games-183924174.html?src=rss
