Upcoming Releases: Mortal Kombat 1, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Sword of the Sea, Earth Defense Force 6, and More – PlayStation Blog

Oh wow, so here we go — diving into the 15-year rollercoaster that is PlayStation Plus! Can you even believe it’s been that long? I mean, where did the time go? Anyway, this August lineup is something else. Mortal Kombat 1, you say? Those brutal finishers! I remember playing the old ones, back in the day. I could almost hear the arcade buttons smashing — like popcorn at a late-night movie.

Ah, and Spider-Man! Swinging through New York. Honestly, who doesn’t want to be a web-slinger even for just one afternoon? Especially in August — prime gaming month, I guess? But, wait, there’s more. Earth Defense Force 6 sounds intense. Fighting swarming aliens? Count me in, or out. I dunno, maybe I’d chicken out.

Now, Sword of the Sea. This one stands out — surfing through sand? I’m picturing it now, like an endless desert with waves you can ride. The Hoversword… which is apparently all the boards in one? Literally sounds like my childhood dreams mixed with waves of nostalgia — and maybe a little sand in my shoes.

And, oh, Resident Evil 2 and 3. Talk about retro nightmares! Which is kinda funny, since nightmares don’t age, do they? Just us. Anyway, these are going to Premium members — whatever that means.

Oh, hold on. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, coming as a trial — a game trial, not beach trial. Grab it and run with it and see if it floats your boat. Made me curious to think about trophies transferring if you dive into the whole thing.

By the way, did I mention how Mortal Kombat’s getting all cinematic? New stories, old warriors — feeling like a soap opera with more punches. But this Spider-Man? He’s got problems just like us — job vs. saving-the-city dilemmas. Ah, New York, you dramatic darling!

Then there’s the stunning orchestration of how Unicorn Overlord — that couldn’t be a real name? — blends tactics and fantasy in some kinda grand saga. It’s like if chess and a fantasy novel had a baby or something. Oh! And Indika — the nun and her devilish buddy. Sounds surreal, right? Straight out of a Dostoevsky fever dream.

Last thing, promise. Harold Halibut, a handmade story — yes, handmade! All on this enormous spaceship in the deep ocean, because why not add oceans to space mysteries? It’s kinda poetic, isn’t it?

So yeah, that’s the mix. PlayStation keeping us on our toes, never knowing what surprise is next. Feels like rummaging through an old box of toys, finding bits and memories you didn’t know you were missing. And now, if you’ll excuse me — I might just go boot up that console. Or grab a snack. Decisions, decisions…
