Lords of the Fallen joins PS Plus Essential games for April 2026

Sony is preparing to unveil a new selection of games for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers, but one of the key titles for April 2026 has already been revealed ahead of schedule. According to insider bilbilkun, the main offering next month will be the dark action-RPG Lords of the Fallen. The game will be available to all PS Plus subscribers—regardless of subscription tier—from April 7 to May 5, 2026. Sony's official announcement of the full lineup is expected on March 31, but it's already clear that the company is betting on a major, recognizable project to capture audience attention.

Lords of the Fallen launched in 2023 as a series reboot, featuring modern graphics and a transition to the new generation of consoles. This souls-like title immerses players in a grim world with challenging combat and the genre's signature progression system. While praised for its visuals and atmosphere, the game also faced criticism for uneven difficulty and a lack of significant innovations.

This choice may be tied to franchise development plans: a sequel, Lords of the Fallen 2, is expected later this year. Adding the game to PS Plus appears to be an effort to reignite interest in the series and prepare players for the upcoming release.
