We made it guys. December. If you’re reading this, then that means you’ve survived the onslaught of another holiday season of blockbuster games. We’re not done yet though, December promises its own fair share of game releases for PS4 — here they are.
The Crew – December 2, 2014
The Crew promises an open-world, social-infused experience in which players cruise around the United States — well, a version of the United States. Cities may not be exactly where they are on the map you’re probably used to seeing in school, but their in the vicinity, spread across five regions — the Midwest, East Coast, South, Mountain States, and West Coast. Unfortunately, if you’re buying into this game early, it’s going to be based on previews and the early betas that have been held as Ubisoft has announced they will not be sending out early review copies to media.
Secret Ponchos – December 2, 2014
Switchblade Monkeys' stylish Wild West PvP, Secret Ponchos, makes its PS4 debut as one of the free PlayStation Plus games for December. Inspired by fighting games and spaghetti westerns, Secret Ponchos pits five outlaws against one another in an arena with a western backdrop. It's simple, but a good time nonetheless.
Game of Thrones – Episode 1: Iron From Ice – December 2, 2014
Telltale Games has announced this weekend that Episode 1: Iron From Ice will release on December 2. As we learned earlier this month, Telltale's game series is based on the world, characters, and events of HBO's TV show, Game of Thrones, which in turn is based on George R.R. Martin's books, A Song of Ice and Fire. In the game, you will control five members of House Forrester in their story, interacting with fan favorite characters throughout the season. Caught up in the events of The War of the Five Kings, you will be placed in a precarious position "where members of the household must do everything they can to prevent the house from meeting its doom.”
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris – December 9, 2014
A sequel to Square Enix’s Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is an isometric adventure that takes you to the Temple of Osiris — deep in the deserts of Egypt — in search for the Staff of Osiris. In a race against rival treasure hunter Carter Bell, you both soon discover more than you bargained for.
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- – December 16, 2014
The fifth installment in the Guilty Gear Series, Guilty Gear Xrd – SIGN- is a 2D fighting game. It continues the frantic fighting action from previous games in the series, but is now presented in cel-shaded graphics. This is said to allow for more dynamic camera movement, while still replicating the feel of 2D sprites.
In addition to the following new releases, PS4 owners who are also PlayStation Plus members are also getting Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition for free in December. So add that to the list of games you've gotta play.
