December 2017 PS Plus Free Games Predictions

MAIN GAME

PS PLUS FREE GAMES FOR DECEMBER 2017

Along with access to online multiplayer, every month Sony releases a few free games for users with a PlayStation Plus subscription. A couple of months ago Metal Gear Solid fans were excited to see the AAA title Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain make it to October 2017’s free games list, as well as a few other indies for both PS4 and PS3.

Every month one larger game headlines the list, and although we don’t know what December 2017’s free games will be yet, we can take a stab at predicting what they may be. For December we suspect the larger game on PS Plus will be Tom Clancy’s The Division from Ubisoft and Red Storm Entertainment.

It’s surprising that The Division has yet to make it to PS Plus, due to the fact it’s an online-only game and it released back in March 2016 with some some DLC packs releasing since then. Offering a multiplayer game for PS Plus is complementary to the support of the online service, and Sony has been know to favor titles with more recent DLC to perhaps incentivize those who pick up the main game for free to purchase them later on.

In The Division you are a survivor of a small-pox outbreak in a fictionalized, future New York City. You become part of The Division who are tasked with rebuilding any and all operations while also combating crime and trying to figure out the original cause of the outbreak. You can do missions solo or team up online with others to tackle them together.

Check out the next page where we take a stab at guessing an indie title that could be included in the PS Plus lineup for December 2017.

INDIE

PS PLUS FREE GAMES FOR DECEMBER 2017

Also included in the PS Plus free games list is an indie or two from smaller but still well known game studios. This month we wouldn’t be surprised to see the gorgeous isometric title Tokyo 42 by game studio SMAC Games. The studio is run by the brother-duo of Sean Wright and Maciek Strychalski, wherein you play as an assassin to prove you are innocent for a murder that was framed on you.

Tokyo 42 has incredibly stylish open-world levels, and has some pretty unique bullet physics that make running and dodging enemies a fun and frenzied time. It originally released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC back in August, so it’s been an appropriate few months after its release for Sony to start considering it to be included in PS Plus.

Next up is our guess at the inclusion of a VR title so PS4 fans will be happy with their purchase of Sony’s VR platform PSVR.

PSVR GAME

PS PLUS FREE GAMES FOR DECEMBER 2017

It’s not every month that Sony includes a VR title in it’s PS Plus line-up, but it’s always a smart move to do so to both incentivize PlayStation fans to pick up a PSVR or keep owners happy with their purchase when they could have gone with the PC alternatives of he HTC Vive or Oculus Rift.

This month we suspect Dino Frontier would be a great inclusion, due to the fact that it’s a PlayStation exclusive and its wacky and colorful gameplay makes it a great one to show off to your friends who might be new to VR technology.

In Dino Frontier you assume the role of the Mayor of a western town, where not only do you have to balance resources in the town to ensure your citizens are happy, but you have to be mindful of bandit attacks as well. The biggest kicker is the fact that Dino Frontier smashes the worlds of the old west and dinosaurs together, so you’ll have to manage dinosaur attacks as well and even use certain dinosaurs to better your town in the long run.

Dino Fronter originally released only for PSVR in August 2017. Make sure to come back next month where we predict what games will be available in January 2017 after the huge holiday rush.
