PS5 owners need to mark September 17 down on their calendar

PlayStation Plus Subscribers are in luck because A highly-anticipated action-adventure game is slated to hit the service as a day-one release in September. While the term “day-one” may not be as prolific on PlayStation’s subscription service when compared to the likes of Xbox Game Pass, Sony is certainly trying to make the feature more prominent. In early September, PS Plus subscribers are treated to Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions As a day-one launch, and if the latest announcement is setting a trend, even more titles could go the same route.

According to the official PlayStation Blog, PS Plus Extra and Premium members will get access to The plucky squireAn inventive action-adventure game developed by All Possible Futures and published by Devolver, on September 17. This charming indie platformer sees players take on the role of Jot, the eponymous squire, as he embarks on a quest to kill the evil wizard Humgrump who intended to destroy the ending of his storybook. Unfortunately, the journey goes wrong as Jot and his friends are exposed to a world they never imagined: a child’s bedroom, realized in three dimensions.

A possible GOTY contender?

The plucky squire Has been in development for several years now as All Possible Futures has taken its time to deliver what is a sleek, thoroughly polished experience. Besides the charming presentation of the 2D storybook aesthetic on the page, the cozy and welcoming 3D environment of the game has also managed to catch the attention of indie game fans. The gameplay is a mixture of platforming, exploration and combat as players must defend themselves against an army of evil creatures while seamlessly shifting between 2D and 3D.

Because The plucky squire As a day one release on PlayStation Plus is a massive win for PS5 owners considering that the game is arguably one of September’s biggest releases. Previews have suggested that if the whole experience lives up to the snippets shown in demos, then Subscribers will receive a potential Game of the Year contender. Paired with the excellent Astro BotIt’s a good time to be a platformer fan on PS5.

The plucky squire Is not the only game dropping on PS Plus On the 17th of September. All Possible Future’s platformer is joined by other heavy-hitters like Night in the woods, Space EngineersAnd survival beat Chernobylite.
