Exploring the Depths: Temtem on PlayStation Blog

Join forces for a laugh-filled co-op adventure, strategize to survive against a formidable foe, and embark on a journey to discover and train new species with December’s lineup of PlayStation Plus Monthly Games. Get ready on December 3rd, when It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem become available to PlayStation Plus members.

Before diving deeper into each game, let’s talk about the exciting PlayStation Plus activities happening this December. These are part of the larger PlayStation 30th anniversary celebration, glimpsed earlier this year. You can expect tournaments, a free Online Multiplayer Weekend, a PlayStation Plus Premium Game Trial, early access to Classic Games, and more. Details on these activities appear later in this post.

With that said, let’s explore the games!

It Takes Two | PS4, PS5

Dive into It Takes Two, an adventure that bends genres and is specially crafted for co-op. Whether you want to play locally or online with split-screen mode, you can invite your friend to join via the Friend’s Pass. Step into the lives of Cody and May, a couple turned into dolls by a mysterious spell. In a world teeming with surprises, they must work together to mend their fractured bond. Navigate various challenges across levels where unique character abilities must be perfected. From dodging gangster squirrels to piloting underpants, prepare for loads of laughter and heartfelt moments. Here’s a game where narrative seamlessly intertwines with gameplay, offering a deeply metaphorical experience.

Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5

Prepare your squad for the ultimate challenge against humanity’s fiercest predator. Aliens: Dark Descent catapults you into a real-time combat strategy setting, tasking you with leading a team of seasoned colonial marines. Your mission? Quell a horrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Battling familiar Xenomorphs, rogue Weyland-Yutani operatives, and all-new terrifying creatures, you’ll need every tactical move in your arsenal to survive. Be aware, though: as you proceed through large-scale levels, your enemies will dynamically adapt to your maneuvers, and defeat means permanent consequences.

Temtem | PS5

Step into your dreams as a Temtem tamer! Journey through the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago in pursuit of discovering new creatures and forging memorable friendships. Capture Temtem on Omninesia’s floating realms, go head-to-head with rivals on Deniz’s sunlit beaches, or engage in trade amid Tucma’s ashy landscapes. Take on the nefarious Clan Belsoto and their schemes, aiming to bring all islands under their control. Overcome all Dojo Leaders and claim your title as the ultimate Temtem tamer.

These titles will be up for grabs for PlayStation Plus members from December 3rd till January 6th.
