Dark Descent: Temtem – PlayStation.Blog

Dive into a cooperative adventure that will have you in stitches, strategize to fend off the universe’s ultimate predator, and uncover new creatures—December’s PlayStation Plus Monthly Games are here. Expect "It Takes Two," "Aliens: Dark Descent," and "Temtem" to roll out for PlayStation Plus members on December 3.

But before we delve into what each game offers, let’s touch on the festivities surrounding PlayStation’s 30th anniversary this December. If you’ve caught a glimpse earlier, you’ll know we’re pulling out all the stops with Tournaments, a free Online Multiplayer Weekend, PlayStation Plus Premium Game Trials, sneak peeks at Classic Games, and much more. Hang around for more details as we progress through this piece.

Let’s talk games!

It Takes Two | PS4, PS5

"It Takes Two" redefines platform adventures with its exclusively co-op gameplay. Whether you’re on the couch or playing online with split-screen, you’ll need a teammate—invite one to join your journey at no cost using Friend’s Pass. Step into the shoes of Cody and May, a couple transformed into dolls by a peculiar spell and now exploring an unpredictable world teeming with quirky gameplay challenges. Each level comes packed with unconventional character abilities you need to master, helping you navigate a landscape bursting with surprises—from battling feisty squirrels and flying pants to DJing at a pulsating nightclub. It’s a love story filled with humor and heart, seamlessly merging narrative and play.

Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5

Prepare to lead your squad against humanity’s most fearsome enemy in "Aliens: Dark Descent." This real-time combat strategy game pits you and your team of battle-ready marines against a horrific Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. You’ll face legendary aliens, defiant Weyland-Yutani agents, and a menagerie of new nightmare creatures. Command your squad through expansive areas, neutralize foes with smart tactics, and remember—death is permanent and your adversaries adjust to your moves as they hunt you down.

Temtem | PS5

Imagine living the life of a Temtem tamer, exploring the diverse islands of the Airborne Archipelago, encountering novel species, and forging friendships. Now, it’s your time to step into that dream. Capture new Temtem, duel other tamers, and traverse from Omninesia’s soaring islands to Deniz’s sunlit beaches, even swapping goods in Tucma’s ash-strewn fields. Confront and conquer the pesky Clan Belsoto and stop their schemes, vanquish Dojo Leaders, and emerge as the supreme Temtem tamer.

These thrilling games will be available for PlayStation Plus members from December 3 to January 6.

The Classic Games feature, Game Trials, and Game Catalog availability vary by time, region/country, and subscription plan. The ongoing PlayStation Plus subscription comes with a recurring fee charged automatically at your selected frequency until cancellation. For full terms, visit play.st/psplus-usageterms.
