In a significant update for gamers, Sony has announced that the action-RPG Lords of the Fallen will be available for PlayStation Plus subscribers starting April 7, 2026, and will remain accessible until May 5, 2026. This title is a sequel to the original Lords of the Fallen, which was released in 2014.
Developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games, Lords of the Fallen was initially launched for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S in October 2023. Despite its promising release, the game had yet to turn a profit after 18 months on sale as of April 2025.
Critics have had mixed reactions to the game. Eurogamer noted, “Missing the elegance of FromSoftware, Lords of the Fallen is let down by Soulslike clichés and performance woes.” This sentiment highlights the challenges the game has faced in a competitive market.
While Lords of the Fallen will be the centerpiece of the PS Plus offerings in April, Sony has not yet confirmed the full lineup of games for the month. Historically, the company has added three games to PS Plus each month, but it increased this number to four in February and March 2026.
The free games for March 2026 included titles like PGA Tour 2K25, Monster Hunter Rise, Slime Rancher 2, and The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road, setting a high bar for the upcoming month.
As the gaming community eagerly anticipates the April lineup, questions remain about what other titles will be included. Will Sony continue to offer four games in April 2026 as they did in the previous months? Details remain unconfirmed.
With Lords of the Fallen taking center stage, subscribers can look forward to a new experience that blends action and RPG elements, despite its previous criticisms. The game’s availability through PS Plus may provide it with a fresh opportunity to reach a broader audience.
As the release date approaches, fans and subscribers alike are keen to see how this title will perform in the PS Plus ecosystem. The anticipation builds as more information is expected to be revealed soon.
