Surprise! Sony revealed the Essential games coming in August a day early. Because they hate me. This week, we have a soulslike that reimagines a classic tale, a survival gritty game with zombies, and a tie-in to a popular anime series. All games will available August 4th and last until September 1st (most likely, the blog doesn't have a date for some reason).
This is also your last chance to get last month's free games, as they'll only be available until May 5th.
All game descriptions (in italics) taken from the linked article. Without further ado, let's get into the games!
Lies of P | PS5, PS4
This macabre Soulslike draws its inspiration from an unlikely source: The Adventures of Pinocchio. In this grim reimagining of Carlo Collodi’s treasured tale, Pinocchio is trying to find the mysterious Mr. Geppetto. His journey takes him to Krat, a Belle Époque-inspired city whose humanity has been lost to madness and killer puppets. Pinocchio must battle for survival using a range of weapons and swappable Legion Arms with special abilities. He will also encounter non-hostile characters, but you will have to help him lie to fulfil his dream of becoming human.
Day Z | PS4
DayZ is a hardcore survival game where up to 60 players must strive to endure a post-apocalyptic world populated by frenzied infected and other survivors. DayZ includes the original iconic map of Chernarus and Livonia – the dense 163 km2 map which lets players experience the hardcore survival hit in a whole new environment. With no checkpoints or saves, when you die, you lose everything and have to start over.
My Hero One’s Justice 2 | PS4
My Hero One’s Justice 2, the over-the-top follow-up to the smash hit 3D arena fighter My Hero One’s Justice, makes its heroic debut! Make full use of characters’ Quirks as you clash head-to-head in epic battles across huge arenas!
