Sony has announced the next four titles to join the PlayStation Now April 2022 lineup. Now that the new PlayStation Plus service arriving in June will integrate PlayStation Now, this will be one of the last chances to take advantage of the subscription service before it gets rolled in.
PlayStation Now gets four new games for April 2022
For April 2022, PlayStation Now owners will have access to a mixture of titles from racing to bloodhunting action: Outer Wilds, WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship, Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, and Journey to the Savage Planet.
Outer Wilds as you play as a new recruit for the eponymous Outer Wilds Ventures as you explore a solar system that seems to be trapped in time loop. Many of the challenges are environmental as cities and dungeons change over time. The solar system explodes in a supernova about every 30 minutes, so you’ll need to discover as much as you can in each cycle so that you can escape the horrible Groundhog Day predicament you find yourself in.
As a racing simulator, WRC 10 FIA World Rally Champoinship celebrates the 50th anniversary of the competition. You’ll be able to drive iconic rally-racing cars through races that have shaped history in the sport over the last five decades. It has a deep career mode and includes new rallies from Estonia and Croatia.
With the ability to turn your character into a wolf or full werebeast, Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is based on the eponymous tabletop RPG. You’ll need to switch between all three forms to survive the Pacific Northwest. In our review for the game, it’s an interesting premise from the World of Darkness but it has date mechanics and mediocre graphics.
Last but not least is Journey to the Savage Planet, a sci-fi adventure where you are sent to the uncharted planet ARY-26 to see if it’s fit for human colonization. Our review for this indie title gave it a 9/10 for its colorful world and zany, off-the-wall humor.
In other news, Sony’s Jim Ryan believes that live service games will outperform subscriptions, and some smart shoppers are stacking subscriptions of PS Now to get years of PlayStation Plus Premium.
