PS Plus Free Games for July 2021 Revealed, And the Leaks Were Only Partially Correct

In the days leading up to thePS Plusnew game reveal, players are always eager to see what’ll be featured. Occasionally, rumors rear their head claiming to know what games will be available. These rumors tend to be wrong, but certain reliable PS Plus rumors and leaks have come true in the past. For July 2021, it seems the recentlyrumored PS Plus games(A Plague Tale: Innocence, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, andWRC 9) were only partially correct.

Notably, the one game that was correct,A Plague Tale: Innocence, is the PS5 upgraded version of the game.A Plague Tale: Innocencefollows Amicia de Rune, as well as her brother Hugo, as they try to escape the Inquisition during the Black Death. Its sequel,A Plague Tale: Requiem, was announced at E3 2021 and is set to release in 2022. In it, players will take Amicia and Hugo on another quest “as a terrifying curse hunts them down.” In other words, for those who have had some interest in the game and its sequel, but haven’t checked it out, now is the perfect time to do so.

The other two games don’t really need any introduction.Call of Duty: Black Ops 4is perhaps most known for its battle royale mode, Blackout, whileWWE 2K Battlegroundswas a substituteWWEgame (of sorts) for theWWE 2Kseriesto take a year hiatus. Both games will be available alongside A Plague Tale: Innocence and are available on the PS4 platform.

Of these three games, what is perhaps the most interesting isn’t how two games really bucked the rumors leading up to their announcement, but what each game has to represent about its particular franchise. Each game, not justA Plague Tale, is getting a sequel or follow-up in the coming year or so.A Plague Tale: Requiemaside, this includesWWE 2K22which is trying to re-establish the franchise after the reception ofWWE 2K20. AnotherCoDis a surefire bet too, with the recentcodename Slipstream forCall of Duty 2021being leaked. It remains to be seen if PS Plus is building up some sort of hype for proper reveals of these games, but it seems like a solid month for fans nonetheless.
