Leaked PS Plus Free Game for April 2026 Hints at “Lords of the Fallen”
It appears the highly anticipated free monthly game for PlayStation Plus subscribers in April 2026 has surfaced online, courtesy of a well-known industry insider. While Sony has yet to make an official announcement, the rumour mill is churning with strong indications that the major free offering for the month will be the action RPG, Lords of the Fallen.
PlayStation Plus members are accustomed to a monthly windfall of complimentary titles. These games become available for a limited time each month, and once claimed, they can be downloaded and played at any point as long as the subscriber maintains an active PS Plus membership. This arrangement provides a fantastic opportunity for gamers to expand their libraries without additional cost.
The source of this potential leak is Bilibili-kun, a leaker who has a solid track record for accurately predicting PlayStation Plus game lineups. Bilibili-kun suggests that Lords of the Fallen, a 2023 third-person action role-playing game with “Soulslike” elements, is slated to be the headliner. This game serves as a spiritual successor to the 2014 title of the same name, aiming to build upon its predecessor’s foundations with modernised gameplay and visuals.
According to the leak, the official confirmation of April’s free games, including Lords of the Fallen, is expected to arrive on April 1st. The games themselves are then anticipated to be ready for download starting April 7th.
The discussion surrounding this potential leak has already ignited a lively debate on gaming forums, with the Gaming Leaks & Rumours subreddit becoming a hub for fan reactions. Many users have come to trust the pronouncements of Bilibili-kun, with one commenter noting, “At this point a Billbil-kun leak is basically an early announcement.” This sentiment highlights the leaker’s consistent accuracy and the anticipation their predictions generate within the gaming community.
However, opinions on Lords of the Fallen itself appear to be somewhat divided. Some players who have already experienced the game expressed their thoughts.
- One player, who achieved the platinum trophy, offered a cautionary note: “As someone who loved this game and got the platinum, don’t do the platinum. Just don’t.” This suggests that while the game might be enjoyable, pursuing its highest achievements could be a challenging or perhaps even frustrating endeavour.
- Another user expressed surprise at the positive reception, questioning, “What is with all these positive comments about Lords of the Fallen of all games.” This indicates a perception that the game may not be as universally acclaimed as some comments suggest.
- Conversely, a more optimistic view was shared: “Pretty solid Soulslike.” This comment points to the game’s strengths within its genre, implying it offers a satisfying challenge for fans of Soulslike titles.
- However, a dissenting opinion argued: “Completed it, because there were not many other Soulslikes at that time, but even with all the improvements it’s still mid, janky as f*** and there are literally only five different enemies in the entire game.” This critique highlights perceived shortcomings in the game’s design, including technical issues and a lack of enemy variety, suggesting it might not live up to the hype for some players.
It is crucial to reiterate that these are unconfirmed reports. The official lineup of free monthly games for PlayStation Plus in April 2026 has not yet been revealed by Sony. Gamers will need to wait for the official announcement to get the definitive list of titles available for download.
