Lords of the Fallen leaks as April PlayStation Plus Essential headliner

A leak indicates that Lords of the Fallen, the 2023 Souls-like action-RPG from Hexworks, will join PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers starting April 7. The game will remain claimable until May 5. Sony has yet to confirm the lineup officially.

PlayStation Plus subscribers may soon claim Lords of the Fallen as part of the April 2026 Essential lineup, according to a leak from Dealabs. The title, developed by Hexworks and released in 2023, distinguishes itself from the 2014 original by the same name. It will be available across Essential, Extra, and Premium subscriptions from April 7 through May 5, the leak states. Dealabs, known for reliable PlayStation Plus information, first shared these details ahead of Sony's expected announcement. Lords of the Fallen is a Souls-like action-RPG that faced initial criticism for performance issues and familiar tropes. Eurogamer awarded it two stars, noting it 'missed the elegance of FromSoftware' and was hindered by 'Soulslike clichés and performance woes.' Hexworks has since issued updates, improving the game's state significantly. Publisher CI Games announced a sequel in 2024, signaling ongoing support for the franchise. Sony typically reveals monthly PlayStation Plus lineups in the weeks leading up to the refresh, so an official confirmation could arrive soon.
